Anderson Scott Brodrick. Born June 23 at 11:33 pm (11 days before his due date and on the day of the Capricorn full moon) I had been having contractions for a week and a half and was more miserable and uncomfortable then I have ever been at the tale end of a pregnancy..We went into the hospital that morning thinking my water had broken but was sent home at 3 cm dilated and 75%effaced. After lounging around the house my water really did break at 3:45pm. We dropped the kids off and were at the hospital by 4:15. It was pretty funny because my appearance clearly indicated that my water had broken multiple times. The on call dr. asked a nurse if she thought it was for real this time and she said she could roll the security footage to reassure him. I was at a 5 when we checked in and had my epidural by 7pm. I stayed at a 7 for a while and then they started pitosin and went quickly to a 9. Like with Ellie the pitosin caused his heart rate to drop and they took me off it and I went back to a 7...umm one is not supposed to go backwards in labor! At 11 I was ready to push and 30 minutes later he was here! He has such little hair compared to Noah and Ellie and it is so light and blond. Every nurse who saw him mentioned how much he looked like Zac....really twins. He is super cute and so far pretty mellow. The kids are so excited and love him so much.
No doubt he is loved by this whole family. Welcome home baby Brodrick!
