Oops!

Two things I forgot to mention in my last post...  One is that I got to cut the cord!  This wasn't planned at all.  In fact, all we had planned for this was that Jeff did NOT want to cut it.  But we never really planned on who would.  So, just a few minutes after Brody was born, Jeff got a text from my mom asking if there were any updates because Mary needed to head back to Muscatine.  They didn't know Brody was born yet because it was literally only 4 minutes after his birth, so I told Jeff to go out there and tell them the news!  While he was away, the doctor asked if I wanted to cut the cord.  I hadn't even considered this but said yes of course!
The other thing I forgot to mention was, if you look back to my very first blog post, I ended it by saying that there would be a happy 56th birthday present for Grandma Vera.  Well...as most of you already know, Brody was born ON grandma Vera's birthday!  How exciting that they will get to share this special day with each other!  :)
