:: Uncle Calebs 1st Varsity Football Game ::


Well its football season again!! The air is getting crisp and cool, and the leaves will soon begin to change! THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE time of the year! We made it to Caleb's 1st varsity football game against Grand Ledge. It was fun! Since Buddy is all done with College ball now, mom has to find someone else to cheer loud for, even if they are bulldogs....... ;) (had to put that in there! Red and black for life! GO FALCONS!) We couldn't stay till the end because Brogan was getting cranky but here are some pictures while we were at the game!

::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...
