Welcome Brody!

Welcome Brody Patrick Bolger, born Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 8:23am.

9lbs, 5oz; 21.5inches long.

(Yes, that qualifies as a big baby!)

We were scheduled for a C-Section on the morning of Wed, July 18 but Brody had his own plans. Around 2:00am on Tuesday, my water broke putting all our plans out the window. Gommie and Papa sped over since Ben was asleep, the toilet overflowed in a major way just before leaving for the hospital so Jeff had to clean it up, then when we got to the hospital, they wanted to wait until 7:30am for the C-Section because a majority of the staff would have been 'on call' doctors.

Long story short, Brody arrived at 8:23am on Tuesday. We spent 4 days in the hospital (with horrible wi-fi hence the blog update now) and are now home attempting to come up with a new routine and schedule.

Ben is doing pretty good with the transition but doesn't understand why Mommy can't pick him up like she used to. Brody is a real angel, he is as sweet as can be. Jeff is super Dad in a major way taking care of Ben and helping me since I am a little out of sorts physically after the C Section.

Arriving at the hospital at 3:30am Tuesday. This was before we found out the C Section would still be another 3-4 hours away and Jen would get to go thru some contractions. Fun stuff.
