Brady Steven Gatten

Thurday, April 17, 2008. 8lbs 3oz, 20.25 inches. Kate meeting Brady for the 1st time.Sally holding Brady for the first time. She could have held him all day.Jackson and Brady. We think Brady looks like his big brother.Two very handsome boys!I had to show this picture. It has been a tradition of ours to take a picture in the parking lot on our way into the hospital. SinceTim planned on meeting me at the hospital a couple of ours after I checked in I didn't think I would have a picture to show Brady when he was older of what he looked like just before we had him. But I found a guy in the parking lot to take my picture. I'm sure he must of thought I was a little strange.
Waiting for baby to be born. I sure am thankful for epidurals:) Brady was born at 9:05 pm. We had a little midnight party in the hospital with John, Brynne, Mikin, and Papa (Steve). We had an early departure from the hospital since we were about to become roomates with another family. It actually has been really nice to be home and it feels like a little vacation. Kate, Jackson, and Sally are having a great time with Nana and Papa. Thank you Nana and Papa.
