Kylie and Lincoln's Story
The
Birth of Tyler Keith Wade
I received a phone call from Kylie on Saturday morning. She
had been experiencing pre-labour for most of the week and was
heading into the hospital to see how she was progressing. I went
into the hospital and we talked about the possibility of going home,
but Kylie felt comfortable despite having to do a lot of waiting.
Kylie spent Saturday night in hospital and things were much the same
the next morning. She decided that a change of scenery would be a
positive thing, so she headed down to have some lunch and a look
around the shops with Lincoln and her mum.
By Sunday evening, Kylie was frustrated with waiting around and so
decided to have her waters broken. Soon after, she began
experiencing very strong contractions. Kylie got into the bath and
back out not long after; she was not sure what would make her feel
most comfortable at this point. She decided not long after that she
would like something to help her deal with the discomfort and allow
her to get some rest.
Lincoln stayed with Kylie and was joined by Kylie's mum to encourage
her through
the night. Kylie continued to have very intense
contractions and found it difficult to get comfortable, but did so
well to breathe through her discomfort.
Kylie was comforted by Lincoln and supported by her mum and
sister-in-law, Jenna, while she bravely pushed out her baby.
A gorgeous little boy, Tyler Keith, was welcomed into the world at
3:55am on Monday 25th May 2009.
Congratulations, Kylie and Lincoln, on the arrival of your
cute little man. Kylie, you displayed determination to birth your
baby even though your body was taking the process slowly. Lincoln, you were a
loving support for Kylie - and you managed to take any criticisms
mildly! Well done and congratulations to both of you once again!
