Announcing the Arrival of...

Brayden Taylor Marecle
Born: Friday, June 24, 2011
Weight: 9 lbs 5 oz
Length: 21 inches

Once Brayden decided it was his time to come he wasted no time in doing so. Contractions started at 5 pm. By the time Taylor made it home from work, we found someone to take the girls, got the bags packed and got to the hospital it was 6:20 pm. Brayden was born at 6:36 pm! The 25 minute drive to the hospital was very nerve racking, contractions were about 3 minutes apart and getting stronger. When we got to the hospital Taylor mentioned to a nurse that we were wanting to have an epidural or some form of medication, the nurse looked at both of us and said, "your not having an epidural...your having a baby". Within a few minutes the doctor arrived, and only three pushes later we had a baby in our arms. I think we were both in shock at how fast everything happened. Big thanks go out to those who were able to help out with the girls on such short notice.
