:: Homecoming Weekend ::

It was homecoming weekend at NMU so Marquette was buzzing with activities. Buddy decided he would take me out to Big Boys (my marquette favorite for breakfast) on Saturday Morning. It was fun to have just the three of us for once!


Then we got to see Buddy's new place.. Isn't it cute! It even has a fireplace inside! While we put Brogan down for a nap, and Buddy joined him, Mama got to work adding the finishing touches to his room. He wanted it to feel more homey, so I brought his family to him! Hopefully this helps to not make him so homesick!


After Brogan and Dad woke up, it was off to the NMU vs Saginaw game! We ended up losing, but it was still fun! Brogan was such a good Boy, he was very into the game! And of course all of the good looking girls that wanted to hold him while he was hanging out in the stands!
He's getting SOO big!
Of course we had to stop and get a picture with WildCat Willey! HEY he's wearing your daddy's number!
and of course the two boys meet :) Quincy and Brogan awe so cute :)

::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...
