Angel Mother-Amazing Granny

I owe so much thanks to my Wonderful Mom. When I went to have Tagg she took the kids and took excellent care of them, make waffles and hot chocolate for breakfast, bathed and made sure they were nicely dressed.. maybe she had them brush their teeth.. maybe not but they had so much fun with Granny. I'm not sure if they even missed me the 2 days I was in the hospital.
Monday Dec. 15th was a crazy day... My mom is now half way done with her Chemo but the 15th was her 3rd treatment. The plan was for me to get induced early enough and she would be able to be there when Tagg was born and spend some time with him. Well I at the hospital at 3am but Tagg was not born until 2:12pm. He was sunny side up and Dr Beck thought originally that he would be born in just a few (short) hours. After Dr Beck turned the baby I dialeted from a 6 to a 10 in about 15 minutes and Tagg was born in just 2 or 3 minutes. Scott called my mom and told her to hurry and get to the hospital... I tried to stall as long as possible... the hospital bed wasn't working.. so that took a good 10 minutes to figure out... Unfortunately my mom ran into the room right as Dr Beck walked out the door. With tears in her eyes she told me she tried to hurry. The great thing was she got to spend a little time with him before she had to run to her hospital and get her lovely 24 hour hospital stay Chemo. With all that she has gone through these last few months I can't help but admire her even more now. She offered to have us stay at her house after Tagg was born so that she could help out with the kids and spend time with the baby. We stayed for 10 great days. I believe this has been my best recovery because of her. What would I do with out such a wonderful mom? This Christmas I have thought about all that i am grateful for and her example is on the TOP of my list. Thanks Mom.

12 days and counting

( this is my favorite picture... he looks so serious... he's just hungry!)
Tagg is 12 days old and I took a few pictures today he is simply the cutest baby! He has made my Christmas wonderful this year, I couldn't have asked for a better present. He's a GREAT baby. He only cries when he is hungry, he hates a diaper change but I can't blame him... he doesn't like his little bummy to be cold. I have to admit his sleeping schedule is MUCH better than Brig's was... Tagg actually sleeps during the night and Brig didn't! We LOVE that difference! He's just as cute in person!

Tagg Anderson Biddle

So here's a little SNEAK peak of this cute little bundle of JOY! He arrived Monday Dec 15th 2:12pm 8lbs 11oz 21in long. His chubby cheeks are delicious.. trust me I have tried them!!! We're doing great and so happy that he's here. I'll post more pictures when I get them all uploaded.

Can't wait for DECEMBER 15th!!!

Today was a wonderful day! well if my day started at 2:10pm it was a wonderful day.. never mind the morning and early afternoon... these kids.. I tell ya! I love em' but my goodness!!!
So the WONDERFUL part of the day began as I said at 2:10, we arrived at the WORLDS BEST DR.'s. Oh how I just love my O.B. ( Scott doesn't like any kind of O.B. so needless to say he's not too fond of him... but I love him and that's all that matters... right?) So today was my last ultrasound before the baby was born and Scott was supposed to go with us but got held up at a Christmas light job so I showed up with all 3 kids.. A little nervous on how everything would turn out but then Scott called and said that he was on his way... a little late but he would be there. I was so excited because I can't wait to meet this baby! While we were waiting Dr. Beck did the most thorough ultrasound I have ever had. This little guy has a head that is measuring 39 weeks and 6 days! I am 37 weeks today! YIKES! everything else is measuring big too. He is really cute and looks a lot like Brig just chubbier. We were able to see him so well because this time we did the 3D ultrasound and man what a difference that makes. So I am glad to report that he is health and well.. but the BEST part is that I am getting induced on December 15th!!!!
You have no idea the joy that this brings to me! No more worrying if he'll come on Christmas. I am dialted to a 2 and 50-60% effaced. Maybe he'll come before my induction, if so then I will be even more thrilled but at least I know he'll be here by the 15th. HAPPY ARE WE!
