December 7

December 7th is a really good day. Trevins birthday. I can't believe he is two years old--time has seriously flown by. I had a doctors appointment the morning he was born and he told me if I went into labor he wouldn't stop me. I told him right as he walked in "todays the day Dr. Syndergaard" and he just laughed. I wasn't joking--I felt weird all day long at work. I went back to work and got off at 5:30. We went and picked Davin up from Dave and Jens. The roads were seriously awful-it was a blizzard outside and we had to drive to Altamont to go home. If we would have waited maybe 10 or 15 minutes later to leave we wouldn't have made it home because that's when my contractions started. They started progressing and were more painful but I told Brady to just keep driving. When we got home I layed down and Brady brought me some crackers and cheese that I couldn't eat. I told him to call the hospital to see what they thought. He called and they told him to have me get in a warm bath and to take some ibuprofen. My exact words were "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? THAT'S ALL THEY SAID TO DO?". He was a little confused on why he had me call ha. Anyways we called my actual doctor and he said he'd meet us at the hospital. We got what we needed and packed a bag for Davin to spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa. It usually takes about 20-30 minutes to get to Roosevelt from Altamont. In the blizzard it took us close to an hour. By the time we got to Dave and Jens I was bawling because I didn't want to leave Davin and because my contractions were so bad--I was seriously a wreck. We got to the hospital at about 9 and I was only at a 4. My doc came in and broke my water about 10:30 and I got my epidural and he says "I'll probably see you around 2 AM so we can have a baby". At 11:02pm Trevin Dee was born. He was 3 weeks early and had a little trouble breathing so he was on oxygen in the nursery for a day and a half but turned out as healthy as can be. He's been such a blessing to our family and we wouldn't be the same without him in our lives. He has a great personality and loves to be with his big brother at all times. He copies everything Davin says and does.
