Charyn called me last Thursday after her docotor's appointment to tell me how it went. Dr. Leavitt told her he thought she would have the baby over the weekend. Which surprised me because she is only 37 weeks and this is her first baby. I was excited for her but bummed because that would mean she wouldn't make it to our scrap book retreat the next weekend. Later in the day, about 5:00 she called and said that she was in the hospital and was having regular contractions. She was going to have the baby that day!! I was so excited for my little sister to become a mom, I could hardly stand it. I tried really hard not to bug her too much, but I wanted to know how she was doing and how things were progressing. At 10:00 that night my mom called to update me and said that she was at an 8 and would probably have the baby before midnight. I said to call and let me know no matter what time it was. I couldn't sleep very good and was just so excited and anticipating his arrival. Finally I got a text from Mike at 1:48 with a cute little picture of my new nephew. Unfortunately that was all the text included was a picture. No information!! I could tell it was Mike that had sent it! hahaha. I had to wait until the morning to find out all the details. Cute little Zander Ricky Brooks was born at 12:54 A.M. on the 28th of October. He weighed 6lbs, 4 oz. and was 19 3/4 inches long. He has a ton of dark hair and is so adorable. I was able to go and visit later that day and got to hold him. He is so tiny!!. It wasn't that long ago that Paxten was that little, but ut sure seems like forever. They grow out of that newborn phase so quickly! I am so excited for Charyn and Mike and for the adventure that awaits them. We are so happy to have Zander in our family and can't wait to spoil him!! (I have already had a good start to that!! I can't resist!)
