:: Chuck E Cheese and Cousin DJ ::



Well lets just say Chuck E Cheese is one of the WORST PLACES EVER! Maybe it was just becuase we were there on a Friday night and it was packed wall to wall with kids. My cousin DJ was home from Germany. He got married while he was on duty for the war. This is the first time that his Wife, Mona, was able to bring her daughter Kate to the states, so we had a BIG birthday party for her while she was here!


It was so nice to be able to see everyone as we don't get together with my dad's side of the family as much as we want to, since everyone is so scattered now!

Also while we were there, guess who showed up! DADDY! He hitched a ride home with one of the Northern fans, and had his sister pick him up from Big Rapids, as the team was playing Ferris the next day. What a Great SUPRISE!

::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...
