He's Here!!!!!
He's here! Topher Webb Rubalcava was born on Feb. 5th, weighed 8 lbs 14 oz, and was 21.1 inches long. He's a big kid and sooo handsome! I have 3 main men in my life now!! It was a struggle to get him here, but it was worth it. My water broke at 1am that morning so we went into the hospital. After being hooked up to my epidural for a while, I just wasn't progressing the way I should and with each contraction the baby's heartrate would decelerate. I also was lucky or should I say unlucky enough to have bronchitis with a huge fever at the same time. They started to worry about the baby's heartrate, him getting a fever and the fact that he wasn't descending into the birth canal like he should (probably because he was pretty big), so they decided to do an emergency c-section. The c-section went well and we had our baby. For the next few days in the hospital I fought a high fever and a sore stomach due to uncontrollable coughing. Now I'm home and still fighting to feel better, but glad to have our little boy home!

Nessa he is adorable! Congratulations I am so happy for you. I am sorry that you were sick and had to have a C-section. The same thing happened to me when I had Hailey, so I feel your pain. Coughing was the worst. I sure hope you get feeling better soon. He really is a cutie and I hope you are all happy and doing well.
Wow, he is so cute! 1 good thing about c-sections is that the babies don't have that squished, conehead look. He's adorable, and looks so alert! That's awful about your being sick, and I hope you feel better soon. Good luck, I hear 3 is WAY harder than 2, so you'll have to give me some pointers for when we have our next one. Congratulations.
What a sweet baby! I voted for the name Topher, so I'm glad you picked it! :) Sorry you are sick, but I'm glad everything went as well as it did. Good Luck with all that is coming!
I'm so happy for you guys. Your baby is just like your other too...perfectly GORGEOUS!! Awesome cheeks too!!! I hope you get to feeling better. Take it easy as long as you can. That's a pretty big baby for you, I bet its nice to have him on the outside now!
Yikes Vanessa! I can identify with the emergency C-section, but to have all the other horrible health things at the same time!! Sheesh. I'm glad you're home and feeling well enough to post for us! Good luck on the recovery.
Yeah for Topher! He is a cutie and we are so glad he is here!!!!

Oh my gosh! He is a chubber! I'm so glad he is here and healthy! It took me 3 weeks to stand up straight from my c-sec. I hope you have some help and I hope you feel better soon! Congrats and he is beautiful!
Congrats!! He is so cute! Glad he made it hear safe, but sorry you had such a rough time during the process. Yikes! Hope you are feeling much better!! Take care!
