Brooke is born

Saturday night Trevor and Abby stayed up late and watched Madagascar.  No extra hour of sleeping here.  Sunday night we had a big storm and the power went off for a second.  Trevor's preschool flooded so Monday he was home from school.  On Tuesday, Brooke was born.


The last few weeks my back had been hurting, so I went to see a physical therapist.  She told me that if you walk along a curb, with one foot raised and the other on the ground, it will cause the baby to come.  I tried this Monday night, and lo and behold, it might have worked.

I woke up Tuesday morning and had a feeling the baby might be born, so we packed our things, took these pictures, and dropped Trevor and Abby off at a friend's house around 10:20am.


We drove back home, dropped off the van, got the car, and drove to the hospital.  We checked in at 10:45am.  Brooke was born at 11:31am. 





Trevor and Abby spent the day with a friend, and Aunt Bethanne picked them up after she got off work.  Grammy also drove out that day, so the 4 of them all got to come meet Brooke on Tuesday night.  Trevor and Abby gave Brooke a lovey, and Brooke gave Trevor a train (Streamlined Emily) and Abby a toy birthday cake with candles.  We all sang Happy Birthday to Brooke and celebrated with a brownie.




 The next day (Wednesday) our photographer friend came and took some pictures.  Brooke had a hearing test and some other assessments, and we were discharged to go home Wednesday night.
