Sorry it has taken me so long to blog about our new addition, it is hard to find time to blog when I just want to sit and love my new baby boy! Our story begins with a normal Thursday morning of walking into a hospital and telling them that I am here to have a baby. No pain, so it felt really weird to be there. They broke my water and contractions started, but they were not doing what they wanted them to do so we started Pitocin which Tom and I gladly accepted because we were really bored looking at eachother and watching Glee in between visitors and phone calls. Pitocin was ok and then they turned it up so I asked for an epidural. The epidural was not really working since I felt like I was going to die. The lovely man who makes the pain disappear came back and gave me some more good stuff and then 10 minutes later we had a baby. Bronson came out with the cord wrapped around him in all sorts of weird ways and he was eating blood. Awesome!! He was fine they just had to suck out the blood from his stomach. Everything happened really fast so Tom and I were really surprised that our families were there to meet him. Visitors were kicked out because I was not doing really well (even though I felt great). Couple of hours later I was able to hold and see every inch of my baby boy. I would have to say I really give kudos to all of you that get started because I think it was too long in a hospital.

They finally allowed us to move into a recovery room at 12:30 in the morning and I felt great the next day, and Bronson was helathy and good so we said goodbye to the wonderful hospital and went home. I slept so great in my own bed!! Bronson is really chill and at this point he still eats, sleeps, and poops all day and night. He is really calm compared to the girls but Tom and I are waiting for the screaming and sleepless nights to come. I am really enjoying this little guy because he is just so sweet. The hardest part of the entire event is that my girls have been so sick. We have had a nasty virus at our house, plus Sophie had lovely Pink eye so we have been washing everything for days. Poor Bree and Sophie have held Bronson once in a week. Bree just went to the doctor and she has some form of pneumonia which is scary and stressful with a new baby around. What can you do but take the punches as they come and move on. I really am so lucky that I feel almost 100% after this delivery because otherwise it would be hell at our house. We have had so many awesome friends and family bringing dinners and helping with the girls so everything has seemed pretty great. Here are a billion pictures of Bronson Enjoy!!

Tom bought Bronson his first football and got his name branded on it.
