Love this baby

Obviously Broden does not get ANY attention at our house. Tyler, Krista, and Great Aunt Nancy watching Brody sleep!

We spent our whole weekend "trying" to take turns holding Broden. Broden had his Great Grandpa Jack, Great Grandma JoAnn, Great Aunt Nancy, and his second cousin Jacob come into town to meet him. Krista and Tyler were also home for the weekend, and we had a blast!

Well the weather is starting to change, so you know what I'm thinking?...........Yup thats right....It is time to bust out the bikini and go snowboarding again :) Who's coming with me this year?

Brody Tyler is two days old! He is the best baby. Love his head full of dark hair. I can not hold him enough!

Baby Broden

Broden is one day old

Granddpa meets Broden

Introducing Broden Tyler Tatara!

Kimmie's second rule was that she did not want the baby passed around until after they got home from the hospital. I sat down right next to David who was holding the baby and said in my sweetest, kindest, most gentle grandmotherly voice....."David, hand me the baby". This is what followed my getting to hold my grandson first!

Kimmie had two rules going in to have Broden.

Rule #1.) She wanted me in the delivery room until right before Broden was born and then she only wanted her and David in the delivery room. Well we pushed and pushed for an hour and right before Broden's head was delivered Kimmie said, "o.k. mom we have it from here." Well I started for the door (honestly I did) but when I got to the door, I couldnt make myself open it. So instead.....I hid behind the curtain....I know, I know but I swear I couldnt help myself. I saw his whole birth and saw them bring him over to the baby table (which I happend to be right next to) and saw them clean and suction him out. I stood there like an idiot crying, once again just couldnt help myself. When I finally looked up I saw I was totally busted as David and Kimmie were over at her bed just staring at me! Oh well....it was to late there was nothing they could do! (besides I am not afraid of either one of them) :) It was totally such an awesome experience that I wouldnt trade for the world!

Here is our sweet, perfect, baby Broden Tyler. He weighed in at 6lbs 5 oz. He is 19 1/4 inches long and has a head full of black hair exactly like Kimmie did when she was born. He has beautiful coloring and is soooo sweet. We are so excited to have him here finally.

We are now at 10cm and getting ready to push. I am so excited and emotional. I could not stop crying trying to take these pictures.

Can you tell she is my daughter? Kimmie asked Todd to go to the store and pick up nail polish! She said I bet you money he picks up pink! She was right. Nice job on the nail polishing technique though.

Fast forward......The epidural has now kicked in! Kimmie is dialted to 2cm at this point and feeling no pain!
