Almost 4 weeks old!!!

Well the last week has been eventful. Buddy, myself, and Brogan were all sick with a cold. We took him to the doctor on Friday last week because he sounded congested and was acting a lot more fussy than normal and had a lot of goobers in his eye, and we just wanted to be safe. They said it was a cold and gave us some drops for his eyes and nose to keep them a little bit more clear and help him to breath easier.
Were all getting better now though!

Brogan is getting so strong!!! He's been lifting his head a lot more, and also trying to roll over!! He actually did it once! Here's a video of an attempt, although he couldn't quite get his head to work with his body! He sure loves his tummy time!






We also have been trying out his swing more lately. He likes it at first, but if its anytime close to when he ate, it makes him toss his cookies! So were still working on the swing too, but other than that he loves it!!!

::Introduction::

Although his life was unplanned Brogan has brought so much joy to ours. We found out we were pregnant May 21st, 2007, and what a shock that was. Looking back on that time now, as i look into his big blue eyes, I don't think we ever could have known what happiness he would bring with his arrival. I worked right up until my water broke at 4:40pm on January 15th. My heart was beating so fast as Buddy met me at my house (after i had to call and pull him out of an interview to let him know it was "TIME", he got the phone call he had wanted! Since I was scheduled to have an induction on the Thursday following and we both really wanted it to happen naturally. We got to the hospital between 6 and 6:30 and i was dilated to 5. After I got the epidural around 8:30 -9 I dilated to 10 within the hour, but was so numb that I could not feel my contractions to push. Poor Brogan was stuck there for another 3 hours with his head just trying to come out! We turned down the epidural, and when I could feel enough to push, it only took 1 hour and our baby boy was delivered into this world by his Daddy and Grandma Wood at 1:51 am on January 16th 2008. Grandma R and Aunt Chelsea and Aunt Brooke were also there to share that special moment and capture it with photographs and video. The rest of the family came in shortly after. What an amazing experience this has been...
