They are telling us that Brody will be here in the morning. He is being a pain just like his Mommy was when she was born. Of course he had to make an entrance because his planned delivery day was supposed to be on Tuesday morning since Toni’s fluid has been low. He felt it was time to meet the world. (more…)

The hospital at first glance was beautiful, outside and in. Clean parking garrage and lobby, Courteous staff, and oh the maternity ward. (more…)
