Broderick Michael Westover is finally here!!!

Broderick was born December 31st at 11:30 pm (6 lbs 14 oz). it was the longest and most painful thing I have ever experienced. I was in labor for about 36 hours so by the time I was fully dilated I felt EVERYTHING because the epidural had worn off. I have to say the easiest part of labor was when I had to push. I know that sounds weird but it kept me distracted from the horrible contractions. on the bright side we will be getting a tax break that we hadn't been counting on and we get to enjoy our little guy sooner than we had expected. We LOVE him so much and can't imagine our lives without him. he truly makes up for everything I went through.
