Let me start off by explaining the title of our family blog. Since we have been together, Brad has always told me "I love you: this much backwards" and would put his hands tightly together. It seemed fitting for our family blog title and I hope it becomes a popular quote in our household.
Our little boy joined this family April 23, 2011 at 4:52am (Easter weekend) weighing 8lbs 6 oz and 19.5 in long. Momma was in labor a long 25 hours. It started Friday morning with contractions at the house. We went to the hospital and I didn't progress fast enough so they sent me home. My sweet friend met me at the house and "coached" me through the contractions. The contractions kept getting stronger and closer together so we went back to the hospital at 4:00pm. Luckily I was progressing so they did admit me. The process was a long one, but after 2 hours of pushing we finally met our precious baby boy.
Our first night home was a memorable one. We spent part of the night in a closet without electricity due to strong storms and a tornado approaching our area. After the scare, it was quite comical and luckily didn't last long. The rest of the night was spent trying to figure our little guy out and how he would sleep through the night. Let's just say it included a trip to Walgreen's (in Little Rock) and taking turns holding him because he didn't like his pack-n-play. Here are a few pictures from the hospital.
