Brecken's Birth

It's been seven weeks since Brecken's big debut, so I guess a new post is way past due. My water
  broke and came in torrents at about 1:30 am on Monday, August 10. I was having pretty bad pains
    in my back, but didn't really know about back contractions so I wasn't sure if I was in labor yet. The     nurses told us we had an hour, so we went to Burger King (it was the only place open). My fluid
    would not stop coming and by the time we reached the hospital my Crocs were full of fluid (TMI?).     I dumped my shoes out just before I reached the hospital entrance, and when I walked in the nurses
    were laughing and told me they all just watched me dump my fluid out on the surveillance camera!
    I was known as 'the girl who dumped her fluid out of her shoes' for the next two days. Other than
    that, labor was pretty uneventful and our Brecken was born 10 hours later.

JP waiting for our newest addition-still not sure about this girl business

Congrats, JP looks like a natural with the girl thing; I must admit, I am terrified of such a thing! Your last days in Oregon look amazing. I love looking on this blog for all of the wonderful cinematography! Why did you guys move back to Utah? And are you going back to work or what's your plan?

Brittany! Congrats. That's awesome. She's so adorable. I realized I hadn't seen your blog in a while, so I came to check it out- and I got a lovely surprise.

I am totally laughing that you had a headband on and earrings while pushing out a baby. I love it!

I hope all is going well. I'm so happy for you!
