Brendon Zander

Saturday day night I started getting contractions every 5-7 minutes for about an hour and a half before Mike came home from work to take me to the hospital. Sat in the ER room for about 45 minutes and then went to triage for about an hour. I was contracting every 3-5 minutes but I was dilating fast enough for them to keep me there. So they gave me some pain meds and a sleeping pill and off we went to go home.



As soon as we got home my contractions were getting more and more painful and next thing I knew they were about a minute or two apart. They were getting so bad I was screaming at the top of my lungs, so I woke up Mike. He was trying to help me to the car to go to the hospital. But because I was in so much pain (back labor) I needed my mom to help me out. When I finally made it downstairs I laid down on the floor while Mike got the car. While laying down my water broke. I REALLY started to freak out now. As we started to make our way I felt a head! We were on the 202 and he started to crown. But thank goodness he went back up. As we pulled into the hospital parking lot he started to crown again. But this time he was not going back up.



We pulled up to the ER entrance Mike ran out and told them what was going on. Two nurses ran out and noticed that Brendons head was half way out. By the time an ER doctor made it out his head was completly out. I pushed about two times and then he was born, right in the passenger seat of our Jeep. Mike got to cut the cord and then they rushed me to the labor and delivery room to finish the rest of the labor process and to get alot of stiches.


Brendon couldnt be any healthier. Not sure why but all the nurses and drs were a little shocked. Whenever a nurse or dr would walk into our room they would comment about how they heard about what happened. We were pretty much famous there haha

So far he has been the best baby boy I could ever want. He hardly cries, and he LOVES to cuddle. I am recovery very well and just loving being a mommy.

Born 3:32 Am

Weight 7 lbs and 3oz and 19 1/2 inches long

9 months!

Yep! I am 9 months prego! Dont think I am going to be getting a whole lot bigger then I am now, thank goodness! Although I do feel my little man getting bigger and bigger. He is not moving too much cause well there just isnt room in my belly. I get my first appointment on Thursday to see if I have at all dilated at all, and I must say, I am very curious to see if I am or not. He still hasnt dropped so I am still getting heartburn, acid reflex, and rib pain. Alot of rib pain. One thing that I have liked about him getting bigger is that I am getting to know all of his body parts. I know which is his knee, elbow, head and of course his cute little butt. I also like having my brother and sister feel him moving and kicking :) Its fun to watch Kelsey's reaction.

Mike is starting to get call backs from companies getting his resume which is good. But we are not getting any bites yet. We are pretty sure that ND is out of the window, the manager up there is being extremely shady with us and is making excuse after excuse on why we cannot move up there yet. So we are going to try and stay here in Az where our family is. Since I will be having the first grand baby in my family and my mom is SUPER excited (Which I love how excited she is). We are praying and trying to stay positive even though it is very hard at times.
