Tate's Birth Story

I went in to LDS Hospital around 8:00 pm on Sunday night and they monitered me for an hour before deciding that I could stay.  I received my epidural around 10:00 pm and then my dr. broke my water at 11:00 pm.  I don't know why my boys think they need to come bright and early in the morning but they do (Crue was born at 5:02 am and Tate was born at 4:55 am).  This made for a long night but luckily I had some of my favorite people in the delivery room with me so it made the time go by a little quicker.  The labor and delivery went really smooth except that Tate was facing the wrong way so he came out with his face first instead of his head.  This meant I had to push a little longer and harder then I did with Crue and is the reason why Tate's head and eyes were bruised.  Later in the day my mom and gparents brought Crue up to meet his brother.  Unfortunately it didn't go so well and Crue really didn't want anything to do with the baby...or me for that matter.  He's only now starting to warm up to him and I'm not even sure if I would call it that.  He's more like tolerating him.  He really doesn't like it when the people he loves hold the baby.  Our families have been amazing though and always greet and play with Crue first before acknowledging the baby which I think has helped.  

During Tate's birth we decided to have Mal Walker come and take photos to document this special occassion.  At first I wasn't sure about the whole thing...but looking at these photos makes me wish I had pictures like these of Crue's delivery.  Mal did an AMAZING job (her website is malwalkerphotography.blogspot.com) and I highly recommend her! 

  

 The one and only "kiss" Crue gave Tate up until recently and looking at this photo and the next one I don't think he kissed him I think he might have bit him! Look at Tates face above and look at his face after...somethings not right....
