Brigg

What better reason to blog than a new baby? Tuesday, July 12th Brigg Garrison came into the world. This little man is so amazing!

I started out the morning with a pic of the huge baby belly. Notice the finger printed windows behind me. This would have something to do with the fact that I haven't been able to walk for a couple of weeks.

Labor was incredibly hard. The epidural did not work at all. I had some sort of spinal block that did work, but only for about and hour and a half. Lets just say it was PAINFUL!

Nevertheless, at 2:32 PM He came into the world. Here is a picture of him still all slimy. Like that HUGE KNOT? YIKES!
He was so mad he peed on the doctor and then again on the nurses. He weighed NINE POUNDS!!! What a chunk! No wonder I couldn't walk!Here is a picture of him with my doctor Ben Williams.


Gary was a great labor coach. He helped me to breath and acted very calm even though I think he was a bit freaked out. I hemorrhaged after and lost a lot of blood. He said that was scary. I think he was as glad as me when the whole thing was all over.The kids came over shortly after and instantly fell in love with this little guy. Christian was working at scout camp and wasn't able to see him until the weekend. These two boys share the same birthday 15 years apart. How cool is that?!

Boston and Brigg. (He wanted to wait till we got home to hold him. I think he was worried he would break him.)

My soul sista Lisa came and completely entertained the kids. I don't think they have had so much fun all summer. She was a lifesaver as usual.

Her daughter Megan also came.

Notice Boston's awesome shoes! Lisa brought all the kids white keds and they dyed them funky colors. What a great idea!


They also decorated the outside of the house to welcome home their new baby brother.

It amazes me how much I love him. He is just as special to me as the first one is. Speaking of which, he is waking up and HUNGRY. :-)
