::Changing of the Seasons ::



Today was BEAUTIFUL out! So Brogan and I had the opportunity to go out and play in the sunshine today! We made a big leaf pile! Although Brogan liked eating the leaves more than he liked jumping in them, the pictures turned out great! I love the fall :)

I'm another FAN of the FALL! Brogan looks like he enjoyed himself in the leaves! haha... cutie! Mommy had some fun too I think! :) You sure are a busy little fam, we miss you in the U.P though and Quincy wants another little bud. Are you guys planning another visit before the weather gets yucky? Hope you guys had a blast trick or treating, Charlie Brown is such a sweetie!

::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...
