:: Gymboree with Andrew ::



My former babysitter Megan and I like to get the boys together every so often for playdates! Since the boys were so used to playing with each other everyday, they miss each other too, and it is so cute when they see each other to see the big smiles and hugs! She invited us to go to a gymboree play center for the kids. They were having an open gym day and thought it would be really neat to try! The kids had a blast! They had so many activities for them and did parachute, bubbles, and songs! Right up there alley... Here are some pictures and videos!







Andrew even got Brogan a Birthday Present! It was a little book that you could unzip and it folded out and has all the letters and small stuffed things that match that letter! Brogan loved it!
Thanks Barnums!
You also wouldn't believe it by his big smiles in these pictures, but after Gymboree we took Brogan to see the doctor, he had been acting a little bit funny and tugging at his ear.... and yep he had a ear infection :( His first one, and if you ask me making it almost all the way to 1 with only 1 ear infection is pretty good, and we are thankful! We did find out he weighs 26 lbs! EEK we go back the 21st for his 1 year well child, and I will update you on the rest of his stats then!

::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...
