Layne was born April 11, 1011. He was 8 pounds and 18 inches long. Even though he was born via C-Section, he was pretty beaten up on his way out. He was face up at the incision and the doctors had to turn him using the forceps. Poor guy. We kept telling people he was in a fight and the doctor won. He was born at Riverton Hospital. The nurses and doctors were AWESOME! However, I would not recommend going there as their admin side of things SUCKS! I had to pre-register with them months before he was born. All they asked about was my insurance information. They did not inform me until the day after he was born that they are out of network with my insurance. And because of that my deductable was doubled- meaning I had to pay for everything because there was no way I was going to hit the deductable. And that was just for the hospital because my doctor is in network so everything I had to pay to him was on a different deductable! So long story short I went from a $5,000 deductable to a $15,000 deductable! Would it have been that hard to say something to me before I even checked into the hospital?! Really people! Granted, I should have checked, but my doctor's office was also at fault. I signed a financial agreement with them at the beginning of pregnancy and in it states that I was required to deliver at Riverton per my insurance's request. I must be an idiot, but that tells me that they checked with my insurance. They checked everything else. Not to mention that with my other kids they told me that my doctor delivered at two hospitals and I had the choice of where to go. They didn't tell me that this time so I didn't know I had a choice. Which by the way I learned later that I did have a choice! Anyway, off my soap box for now on that subject! ... Recovery for me was 100x better than with Myles. Amazing how it's the same surgery but totally different outcomes! It's good things have gone so well because I had to be back at work after 3 weeks. Chad is still having problems with his leg and it got really bad around that time and he couldn't work. So off I went thinking I knew enough to keep the business going by myself- HA! Luckily we have really good family who are willing to work for a bribe or two. :) Enough about the boring stuff, here are some pics of Layne...
All my boys
Myles was only allowed to touch his toes for a while. He still asks to see "baby waynes" toesies.
Nap Time. Notice Myles' grin- I think that means he won.
Tracen loves to hold Layne. He was really upset the first night that they had to leave me and Layne at the hospital. He cried the whole way home. So sweet.
Here you can see some of his battle wounds. On his cheek and the big line on his head are just a few. He also had a black eye on the other side.
