The New Addition

Here he is! The new tiny center of our world! Isn't he incredible? Labor and delivery went really really well. It wasn't at all like you imagine it would be. Stupid Hollywood. Ha ha It was amazing. I woke up Halloween morning ready to go buy my halloween candy and get my costume on. I love halloween and was so excited to have my first trick-or-treaters :) But my plans were altered slightly when I realized my water had broken. After freaking out for a bit I let Darren know that we needed to get going! So off we left for the hospital. But of course we were out of gas so we had to stop and fill up. Classic. Once we got to the hospital I waddled up to the counter and let the nice lady know that my water had broken and that I was getting their nice floors all wet. She then, instead of escorting me to my room, handed me a clip board and let me fill out all sorts of paper work.. while still getting the floors wet! After what seemed like ages they finally gave me a VERY lovely gown to wear and let me go to my room. They then informed me that my water had indeed broken and that I was there to stay. Baby was on the way!


About 9 hours later our little man was born. Trayden Darren Anderson. Born at 9:55pm on 10/31/08. He weighed 6lbs 5ozs and was 19 inches long. Just a little guy! Man he is just so cute! Can I just say that Darren was absolutely incredible through it all. He was right there with me the whole time offering mounds of support and cheering me on. We were both kind of afraid that he would be a bit queasy and wouldn't be able to handle it, but that didn't end up being the case. He was wonderful! I could not have done it without him. We are so happy with our little Trayden.. He is perfect. We are very very blessed. 10 fingers, 10 toes... 100% perfect. We love him so much and couldn't possibly be happier.
