Alex Eugene Behymer

I finally found some time to be able to put up some pictures for those that havent seen many yet.
Ashley went into the hospital tuesday night at 8 pm to be induced for Pre Induced Hypertension.
Her blood pressure had been pretty high the couple of weeks before delivery. She was put on some medication and was having contractions every 2.5-4 minutes by 10pm on tuesday.
She kept having contractions every 2-3 minutes until Alex was born thursday night at 5:04 PM
She did great. She stayed very calm throughout the entire delivery and was able to have a natural birth. We were able to go home saturday morning. Here are a few pictures that we took at the hospital.
























Heres the proud family.

Here is a picture of the proud daddy about 5 minutes after Alex was born.
