What were you doing a year ago?

A year ago...right now...I was laying in a bed at St. Joseph's hospital. By this time almost 24 hours had already gone by since the initial "induction". Nothing was happening. No dilation. No progress. Baby's heart rate dropping.
About this time I think the doctor was coming in and talking to us about our options. She recommended a c-section since Brooks was experiencing stress and I was still only dilated to a 1. She left and Chad and I talked and prayed for a minute...it didn't take long to make a decision.






But the best part didn't come until 12:39am on June 23, 2008...

Cousins

Brooks was so lucky that his cousin Brodie came to hang out for a bit. I met my sister-in-law, Jill, and her son, Brodie, at Chick-f-la last week for some dinner, and then we came back to my mom's house for some fun. Brodie was very sweet to Brooks, always wanting to give him kisses or pick him up. We did have to explain to him that picking Brooks up was not a good idea. Brodie showed Brooks how to work some of his toys, and they even "wrestled" around a bit. It was so cute. One of the biggest reason to move back to Texas, was so that we could get together more with our family. This was just one time in many to get the cousins together...
