Thebig day came early on October 9th. Brody Michael entered the world at 7:57am weighing in at 7lbs 3oz and 20 inches long. Everything went very smoothly with a scheduled c-section. His blood sugar was a little low when he first came out so the nurses gave him some formula right away. Dad was there to capture the picture. Brody was not done sucking because he quickly found his thumb a few minutes later. He is doing fine now while recovering with Mom in the hospital. All the brothers and sisters came down later in the afternoon to get their first peek and snuggle. As you can see, Clay is excited to be a big brother. They were all gentle with him and patient while the others got their turns. Laynee was concerned about Mom but enjoyed loving on her little brother.
Brody is doing well with me in the hospital. I will be going home on Sunday afternoon. The recovery is going well for me also. I am enjoying my time with our new little addition before the chaos of life begins. So far he is sleeping a lot and doing well with the breastfeeding. I pumped a little today so that Jerry could enjoy a little feeding time. Jerry has been busy keeping the rest of our life a float. Tonight we hired a babysitter and took "date night" at the hospital. We are both in awe of this little life. He is so precious and we feel so blessed. We are trying to soak up every moment because we know it is the last time we will be sharing this experience together. Adding another child to our family is exciting. Who knew 15 years ago that this is where we would be today! Welcome to our family Brody.....we ALL love you!!!!
