Just over 2 weeks ago Chad, Chase & I welcomed Cyrus Gordon into our family! Cyrus was born on the 14th just like his big brother. I was 5 days overdue and feeling really good. I thought for sure I'd be the first woman pregnant for a full year. Then that morning I woke up with some light cramping. It got a bit stronger in the morning and then stopped all together. So I drank some raspberry leaf tea and took a nap after lunch. At 3:00 I woke up to strong contractions. Chad began timing them and they were 5 minutes apart consistently. Uncle Trent rushed over to watch Chase and by 5:00 we were waiting to be assessed at the hospital. My contractions were still 5 minutes apart but I was 7 cm dilated. :) They called my doctor and we set up camp in our room. Once Dr. Hansen arrived he checked me again and I was 9 cm...ugh my hopes and dreams of having an epidural went out the window real fast. He broke my water and at 6:00 I was pushing. By 6:19 Chad was tearfully announcing we had another boy! A lump caught in my throat when he spoke those words. For years I have prayed for little boys. Growing up I had an amazing relationship with my brother. I guess I've always been more of a tomboy at heart and related to the men in my life the most. Having Chase & Cyrus just feels right to me. God truly has given me the desires of my heart! I feel so blessed to have such an amazing husband and 2 beautiful boys! I can't wait to see what God has in store for our little family.
