:: Mom's first night away ::


To add to the rest of our weekend, Buddy's friend Drew had his graduation party at his cottage. Since Buddy was planning on coming home for the weekend, it had been in the works for this to be the big night that I left Brogan for the first time. We had to work up to it, I was a little bit nervous.
He stayed with Buddy's mom while we went up there and they seemed to have a blast. Buddy and myself missed him A LOT, but we made it through the night with videos and pictures on my cell phone hahahaha :) We just love him so much!!!! Then early this morning Buddy left to go back to Iowa to finish out the season. WE"LL SEE YOU IN 3 SHORT WEEKS!!!! WE LOVE YOU!! We've almost made the first whole season! What an accomplishment for Buddy and us!!!! We can't wait to have him home again!

::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...
