It was a dark and stormy night.. Just kidding. It was stormy that night, but a good stormy :)
So on July 23rd, 2007 My water broke at 7 am and after I took a shower and ate some breakfast we headed down to the hospital super excited!
Labor took a little too long for my taste but we were in good moods despite it all. Rusty was such a trooper! He was just amazing through all of it. I was grateful to have him and my Mom there!
So after a day that seemed drag on forever we had a blessed little boy come into our lives.
Though his first few moments of life were a little scary. (Due to the cord being wrapped around his neck.) Things soon started to look up and I was so happy to have a beautiful baby boy!!
Brayden Riley Odom
born July 24, 2007 12:40 am
7lbs 7.6oz 19/20 inches long
(he was mis-measured so all of his documents say 19in. when he was actually 20)
Our first Family photo.
The proud Daddy.
Rusty is such an awesome Father. I couldn't ask for a better husband. At night he would get up and change Braydens diapers after I fed him...Rusty said it was only fair that he take that responsibility.
Brayden was so observant. As soon as he was born he was looking around at everything with wide, watchful eyes. He never cried until he had his first bath and that ended up being more than an hour after his birth.
(This picture of him just cracks me up!)
Look at Braydens wide eyes!
We finally have our little boy, I couldn't ask for more.
I was finally ready to take my baby home on Wednesday, July 25th.
Everything was ready for him and I was happy to be home.
(My delivery nurses were awesome! But after that, I was lucky to get out of the hospital with out shooting someone! Long story!)
He looked so cute in his car seat. Of coarse I sat in the back next to him on the way home... I loved having a little baby and surprised how natural it was to take care of him.
Sadly, we didn't have much time to just enjoy having a baby, we started packing up out home to move only a few days later...

Olivia-just so you know, you can get out of the hospital earlier (they don't tell you that:)) I hate hospitals..haha that I work at one:) Of course if you want to stay that's a different story:) What a cute story! And adorable pics! Rachel
I'm glad that you left a comment. I hadn't realized that I had posted that blog yet. I fixed a few things that needed to be fixed so thank you!
I wanted to leave the hospital earlier but I was having some problems and they wouldn't release me until they were sure I was okay. I'm hoping that my next experience will be better.
