:: Buddy's weekend home from school ::


This weekend, buddy was able to rent a car and make it home for the weekend(despite the ridiculous gas prices, now up over 4 bucks a gallon and almost 5 in some places) We were glad to see him and so happy to have him home for a little while!

We had a weekend full of events! Auntie Ashley turned 21 this week so we had a party for her on Saturday! Also on Saturday my friend Lindsay and Andy got married, so Buddy and I were able to go to that! It was a lot of fun! Then Buddy returned home late last night/early morning so he was able to study for an exam Monday. Brogan had such a fun time with him while he was here. Daddy woke up with him every morning to be the first one to get him from his crib and feed him breakfast! He just had the cutest/biggest smile on his face when Buddy first got here! like "HEY DADDY WHERE DID YOU COME FROM" :)

::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...
