Brigham decided to make his entrance 8 weeks early. He was born Sat. Feb. 2, 2008 at 8:34am. My water broke at 4:50am and we arrive at the hospital around 6:00. I wasn't having any contractions and the doctor thought he was going to give me some antibiotics and steroids and send me home. The nurse got a little nervous when I told her during my 4th contraction that I felt the need to push and the doctor got nervous soon after that. He checked me and could see the baby's head and I was dialated to 8!
I am fine and they have sent me home. Brigham is doing great! He was born 3lbs 13oz and 17 inches long. He is healthy for his size and age. He came out crying and peeing. He will be in the NICU for a while until he is big enough to keep his own temp up and eat enough orally to gain weight.
We are shocked and excited and exhausted. He is beautiful!!! It's Tues. evening and Ross and I are very tired. I just wanted to get some pictures posted. We will keep posting updates and pictures here.
Thanks for all of your prayers!

So...you didn't need to decide on the epidural afterall??? He is absolutely gorgeous - and has a very cool name too. We'll continue to keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Get some sleep now...while you still can!!! Love, Heather, Jeff, Carter & Beckett
We are so glad to see everyone is doing well. Hope Brigham gets out of the hospital soon. If he is anything like his dad he will pick up on the eating thing quick.....
You are all in our thoughts!

WOW! He is a lil fellow! My puppy weighed more than him! Ha! Seriously - I am so happy for you. I am glad that he is doing well and I am glad that YOU are doing well! I hope he gets to come home soon. Obviously you scared me to death since I am at 31 weeks. Now I am stressing out! I hope someday our two little ones will get to play. Love you and my prayers are with you all!
