Bean's Arrival!!!!

Brady Everett Turza (aka Bean) has arrived!!!!

After a weekend in Cooperstown for Kate's cousin's wedding, where some serious dancing occured (not going to lie, Kate was hoping it would "jar" Bean lose). Bean decided it was time to come into the world exactly one week early (and on the day Kate picked as the "perfect day" he could come.

On Tuesday, September 14th, Kate woke up at 3:30am with intense contractions. She realized that her water broke, so she called the doctor, and was assured that labor was definitely underway. So, we gathered all our stuff and headed to Southampton Hospital. We arrived around 4:30 am and were whisked away to the birthing room. Kate was running a fever, so she was hooked up to all sorts of monitors and IV's in hopes to bring it down. Thankfully, the antibiotics worked and the fever broke around 7am, and Kate was dilated only 3 cm (long way to 10, which is fully dilated) The contractions began to get a bit more intense and rapidly increasing in frequency. Around 9 am Kate couldn't take the pain anymore, the contractions were back to back, so Kate requested an epidural. Well, actually, through gritted teeth she told Brian to get the doctor because she couldn't catch her breath. So, around 930 am the epidural was given. Around 10ish Kate was fully dilated and it was ready to push!! Well, after a half hour of pushing, Brady Everett Turza was welcomed into the world!!

Brady was a whopping 8 lbs 14 oz and 20.5 inches long. He is a complete cutie pie (granted, we are his parents). We stayed at Southampton Hospital until Thursday, then we brought the bundle of joy home. He is such a cuddler, sometimes it's hard to put him down! He's got such kissable cheeks.

Ok, we'll stop gushing and show you some pictures so you can judge for yourselves.
