Easter






Easter was so special this year. Buddy came home!!!! We missed him so much even though he was only gone for a week. Brogan and I had semi matching outfits too! "Auntie" Michelle bought Brogans for him when we were in CO. So we went to church with my entire family, including Chelsea who came home from Lansing with her boyfriend for the weekend. Then we scurried over to go to church with Buddy's family, and ate dinner over there. Brogan loved his easter presents, his NEW SOCKS because his feet are so big (9 month socks) from grandma Alyce and new easter bib that he wore all day that said "My first Easter egg hunt" I also got in the easter basket with all the eggs after uncle Calebs easter egg hunt and posed for some pictures with all the colorful eggs! I loved them!

::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...
