Sydney

Sydney has been so amazing this month. Up until the day we arrived at the hospital to have the baby, she was cooking, cleaning, and doing everything as normal business. I have to constantly nag her to just "take it easy." I have seen her in the last two months grow so much as a wife and a mother and I love her deeper with every minute that passes by.

Sydney was such a trooper in the hospital. Sometimes I think that she was made to have babies because of how well she does =]. We went into the hospital around 6:30 and after we checked in and she was all hooked up she started to have contractions some time between 8-9. We had decided before we went in that because she has had her last two naturally she wanted to have a pain free labor with an epidural...well that's what we wanted. Little did we know that Colin would be here way faster than expected. Her water broke some time around 11:15 and then she said she was ready to push right after. Colin came at 11:25. The doctor barely made it in time to catch the baby. The nurses literally told her to "Just hold him in" in fear that they would have to deliver the baby with their bare hands!

After Sydney gave birth to Colin, she was glowing with love and excitement. I love to see her after we have a baby because I think that she feels something at that moment, that she feels only after giving birth. Her smile is a little bigger, and the love in her eyes grows a little stronger. To me it feels like she has performed a miracle and brought something in to this world that we know will always carry a piece of our heart.

Please say a little prayer for Sydney, I go back to work next week and our family is leaving so she will be on her own with TWO boys. She will definitely have her hands full.
