Our New Arrival!!

Brock Howard Taylor is here!! Brock was born Sunday, Aug. 22 at 5:26 am. He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz. Everything went really well. I woke up Saturday Night about 1:30 am. having contractions. about 2:15 i took a ginger bath which is suppose to stop your contractions if it is false labor and increase your contractions if it is real labor. Well they increased and I called my mom about an hour later at 3:30 to have her come stay at my house with the kids. We got to the hospital about 4:20. They checked me and said 'oh my gosh you are dialated to a 8 and your bag is bulging. You might not have time for an epidural.' I did NOT want to do it without an epidural!!! The epidural guy wasn't even at the hospital, so by the time he got there it was to late. The Dr. said the epidural wouldn't even have time to take before the baby came. And Brock was born 20 minutes later postier, with no epidural! It was one of the worst things I have gone through. But I DID IT!! It was good it went so fast because I don't know that i could have done much more! My total labor, delivery, everything was 4 hours. ....can't ask for much better. The proud Momma. I swore i was going to look good when i went in to have this baby. Every morning i would do my hair nice, make sure i had earings in, shave my legs, everything. Then he decided to come in the middle of the night when my hair was already up. And i had a ton of mascara on from the day before, that was all over my face, after ward. That no body told me about, i found out when i got up to go the bathroom the first time and my make up was everywhere. I guess Josh hasn't figured out that that is his job to tell me. :)

Garrett is all about this baby! Leah i guess is a little young and it probably hasn't sunk in yet. On the way to the hospital Garrett told my mom that he was going to help the Dr. take his baby out. When he got there he asked me if I had another one baby in my belly. :) How sweet huh?!

The proud parents!

Our perfect baby boy!

Ready to go home! We got to go home the next morning. I have been feeling really really good. This is by far the best recovery. The worst pain it just the uterus contracting, which is mostly when i am nursing. My back does hurt but i think that is from delivering postier, and from uncomfortable couches, chairs, and that hospital bed!

The BOYS!! We have only had a couple hours at home with just us. Leah was asleep most of the time. And actually so was i and Brock. Garrett and Daddy are so happy and proud of their new little baby!

We went to katies house for a little dinner for Cambree. Brock was actually born on her birthday so they will share the day with one another. And Leah's birthday is in about 2 weeks, so we might just do all 3 birthdays together over the years! WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE BROCK IN OUR FAMILY. WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER AND MORE EXCITED TO HAVE HIM IN OUR FAMILY. HE IS THE SWEETEST LITTLE BABY. REALLY QUITE AND CONTENT. SLEEPS REALLY WELL. NURSES REALLY WELL, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING! WE ARE SO BLESSED THAT EVERYTHING WENT SO WELL, AND THAT HE IS HEALTHY AND THAT WE ARE DOING SO WELL.

thanks for bearing with me the last couple weeks as i was so miserable and wanting to not be pregnant anymore. you were very sympathetic!
