6:15 Thursday morning my wife woke me up as she was having tremendous stomach pains.

6:30 Scared and worried I rushed  as fast as possible to get us to the hospital as any expecting father would.

7:45 We were told that even though we were two months early we would be seeing our baby boy today.

8:30 We were moved to the delivery room with anticipation to see our baby.

9:30 As our original doctor was out of town the next doctor they had chosen for us had just arrived and was being prepped for delivery.

10:30 After an hour of pushing our doctor had left to go deliver other babies while we would wait for his return. Confused and frustrated we did so anyways as the staff said this was normal.

12:30 Our doctor got back from another hospital to finally start again. angered yet relieved of his return we began again.

3:00 Our doctor began to get a struggled look on his face and stepped out of the room.

5:00 With now 12 people in the room to help determine  what it is they were going to do, they decided to use a needle to go directly through my wife’s stomach to relieve pressure. After trying multiple needles as the first wouldn’t work they finally found a needle that would work. My wife was now in a panic and was scared to death of what was going on. They continued to give her shots of pain killers as the epidural was not strong enough for the pain she was going through.

6:30 The umbilical chord was cut not by me but by the doctor in an effort to remove the baby.

7:45  The baby and his mother, my beautiful wife Megan, had gone through so much more than any person should have gone through. Megan’s mother and I being the only two people in the delivery room had seen more than any person should ever see. After countless mistakes and mass confusion…

7:50 Our son, Kyler Cras Moeai, was finally born. At only 4lbs and 2ozs our baby was finally here…
Kyler was never able to take a breath, nor were we able to hold him immediately after because of what occurred.

We were allowed to spend the two  following days with our sweet baby, as his mother and I held him in a bed for those two days. We were filled with such strong feelings of love. How can you love someone so much that you’ve only known for such a short time? Kyler helped us create a bond between husband and wife  we never thought possible. We are stronger now together then we ever thought possible. Though he was only with us for two days, the strength and spirit of my baby boy is something that will never be forgotten. These were the most beautiful moments of life that I wouldn’t wish anyone to have to go through. We miss you and love you more than life itself.   -your father
