Superbowl Sunday!
Even though our first Superbowl didn't turn out as we would have liked (we were rooting for the Patriots), we still had FUN!!! We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Rivera's house for a double celebration! It was Grandpa's Birthday! We baked him Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies, brought a carton of milk, and got him a really cool card that played music when you opened it. He loved it! Can't Touch this!
Aunt Brooke, and Ashley, and Uncle Caleb were all there to hang out with me too! I wore my special football jammies, and brought my football rattle to throw at the TV when there was a bad call! I slept through pretty much the whole thing though because I had LOTS of attention and snuggle time from all the aunties, uncle, and gma and gpa. When I get warm, I just SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP. Unfortunately for mom since I slept the whole game, I stayed up pretty much all night which made for a really long day. We'll get back on schedule soon hopefully! A small price to pay for a fun night!
::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...
