crews~
i wanted to make sure i had some things written down for you too buddy! i feel like i don't need to write anything down b/c i KNOW that i will remember them....not so much!! i want to make sure i can capture just as many memories of you during your first 3 years of life as i did your older brother. bringing you home from the hosptial, starting to crawl, walk, talk, etc....i want to remember it all!
your birthday:
first i feel like i need to start with the night you were born....this is for me to remember just as much as it is for you:) i had been to see the dr that morning of the 10th...everything checked out just great and dr kaplan and i talked about a time that we could induce in the next few days. i still was unsure if i wanted to do that....i wanted to make sure i gave you plenty of chances to come on your own:) needless to say i decided to set up going into the hospital that coming friday, the 12th.
things went well that day and then around 5:00 i started having some contractions...nothing crazy, but definitely noticeable. your dad kept his eye on me and had also made me promise that i wouldn't deliver you at the house:) and i would tell him when i needed to go to the hospital. i assured him i was all good and it was probably nothing to be too concerned about. SO...i put your brother to bed and then we followed soon after. at about 12:35 i woke up and knew it was time. we called your mimi, the dr, and my friend amy and just prayed we could make it to the hosptial in time. it wasn't very long after i awoke that i told you dad that he needed to call EMS b/c you were coming and i didn't want him to have to deliver you!!! i was on the front porch (your dad on the phone with 911) and my water broke. my friend amy pulled up at the same time and somehow miraculously got me into your dads car. we raced to the hospital and the only thing i remember is just praying that everything would be ok and that jesus would help me!!! as soon as we arrived i was whisked into the hospital on a wheelchair and taken into the triage room....basically from there it all happened so quickly. you were born at 1:42 AM on 10.11.12 (what a great birthday date)!! we were still not sure what we were going to name you...we had decided that you name would have Wesley in it...but had not decided if you would be Crews or Jett. your dad and i decided that crews fit you well and the amount of personality you had already shown us!!! you were adorable and so, so sweet. a little cuddle bug. we stayed in the hospital until friday...mac and all your friends and family came to meet you...it was such a sweet time. we came home to mac, mimi and malley waiting on us:) everyone was so excited to see you....i will never forget that crazy couple of days and how you melted my heart when i got to hold you for the first time....
