Clyde's Comeback!

It's a BOY! 9lbs 4oz and all  kinds of hair and back fat. Myler Clyde Behunin (like a mile runner) was born at around 10:30 p.m Monday night. 

I didn't run at all today but feel like I just finished a ultra. Mik'L got me up on Monday morning at 1:30 a.m as she was having contractions. We monitored it at home for 2 hours and then went in to the hospital at 3:30 a.m. They got her going from the git go and she had the epidural by around 5. Then we spent the day waiting for her to fully dialate. After she was ready we pushed for hours on a couple occasions and it was finally made clear this boy wasn't coming out the old fashion way. He was too big and mommy's insides were too small. So at around 10:30 p.m she went into surgery to have a C-section and we finally had our little boy. We really wanted to  have him the old fashion way for a number of reasons but it was physically impossible as determined by two doc's.

But he's healthy and strong so far and cuter than a bugs ear. We feel so blessed right now to finally be parents after almost 8 years of marriage! 

Another day here in the hospital. Instead of getting in any kind of workout I spent the day on my butt and eating fast food that family brought over. But I'm not really bothered with fitness right now. Our little boy is doing really, really well. He has tons of hair. The whole head is covered with long black hair and then he has black hair all over his arms, back and shoulders. He looks like a truck drivers baby... not a stay at home, skinny little, running guys son.

Hospital all day. I'm starting to get some cabin fever at this point. Baby is doing good. His head got some small injuries during the labor and it is a little infected so we have to watch it so he won't have to go to the NICU.

We finally left the hospital around noonish. Glad to get home and relax. I'm getting really fat!

Well a hard morning today as last night was the longest night ever. We managed to get about one hour of sleep from dusk to dawn. Our first night home wasn't so special. But today ended up being pretty good around the house and the little guy seems to be doing just fine. 

Today was the completion of a long week. A good week but a long week. We've had tons of company and lots of learning/ changes. So I never even ran once all week long. I also didn't ride the bike or do any other kind of workout... Not the best but what do you do?

I also found out that not running isn't healing my hamstring. It is still hurting so I'm going to have to do lots of PT and other things to work through this.

The good new is my little boy is SO CUTE!
