Hello World!

Last Wednesday we dropped AJ and Abby off at Nana and Papa's.
Thursday we anxiously ventured to the hospital for our third c-section.
Andy says we should just put a zipper in at this point...
thanks honey.
Broderick Allen was born at 2:20pm
weighing 7 pounds 9 ounces
19 inches long
Healthy as can be.
We enjoyed our time just getting to know this little guy.
And I must say I was happy to indulge in small treats like...
the most amazing chocolate chocolate chip bundt cake ever...
Beautiful fall flowers from my fabulous in-laws...
a mid afternoon tea party...
chai tea...
mini sandwiches...cookies and all...
and lots of snuggle lovin' with our newest bambino.
We checked in Thursday at 11:30am, had a baby,
and were on our way home not even 52 hours later.
The entire thing simply amazes me every time.
AJ loves to sing to his new brother.
Abby wants to hold him all the time.
And Andy and I are adjusting to having three kids.
