Adam and I are so excited to welcome Brody into our small little family! It has been a wonderful past two days. He is such a happy baby and sleeps a lot (which I am very grateful about.) He has super long legs and really long skinny arms, when he doesn't have the blanket on he looks so skinny & small! Brody has really dark hair and my lips! He is absolutely perfect! :)

About his birth:
Well as most of you know I was sooo over being pregnant and huge! So my doctor said that since we were worried about Brody being such a big baby that we could induce as soon as I was at least 39 weeks. So Adam and I decided to induce on May 2nd, and just to make sure he was born that day we went in May 1st. They gave me cytotec, around 10:30 pm, which would help me dilate more, the nurse told Adam and I that it would probably be a few days until he was born, which definitely disappointed us. Around 1 am they checked me again and I was dilated to almost a three.. so thinking I started to think this was going to be a long week of labor.. But they checked me at 8:30 am and apparently I dilated much faster than normal and even started having so many contractions that they didn't need to give me the pitocin so they gave me the epidural. Then around 10:30 am the nurse checked me and I was to an 8 and 100% effaced! So the nurse said that she was going to call the doctor because I was going to have to start pushing!! Umm... so MUCH FASTER than we were expecting! Then about twenty minutes later the nurse checked and I was to a 10 and right then had to start pushing. They told me that my doctor was about 6 minutes away and then finally he got there. Brody's heart rate started to drop so I had to wear oxygen (which made me extremely nauseous) and after about an hour and a half of pushing and at one point ripping my oxygen off once I noticed Brody's heart rate was ok, he was born!!! :) At first he didn't cry at all, but apparently he swallowed some of the fluid as he was coming out but then he cried right away and everything was ok! He was really white and his head was bruised because he got stuck in the birth canal. He got a 6 on his apgar test and then a 9 after five minutes! But we are so grateful that everything went so well and SO FAST!

So here are so pictures of the little boy:
