August 15, 2011 - Baby Brody is Born!

After an 18 month hiatus, the Goslins are back to blogging.
We are proud to announce Baby Brody Thomas Goslin, born Monday August 15th, 2011
8 pounds 1 ounce
20.25 inches long


After what was surely the longest 39 weeks in history, little Brody entered the world via scheduled C-section. Mom was put on bed rest at 32 weeks with pre-term labor and we were thrilled that we made it to 39 weeks.
Below is a pic of Jess on August 12th, 3 days before Brody was born.
We had been joking she was "12 months pregnant" because she was definitely much bigger this time around.

On August 15th, Jeff and Jess headed to the hospital at 10am to "check in" to have a baby. Definitely a much more relaxed (and "civilized") way to have a baby, yet somewhat surreal. We had a mini photo shoot prior to heading inside!

At 1:23pm Little Brody was born! He came out kicking and punching the docs, and even peed on them...definitely a feisty little guy...thankfully he was born a healthy little guy! Jeff was an awesome partner during the surgery and even cut little Brody's cord when he came out. Such a different experience then when Zack was born (via emergency C-section after hours of pushing)

Zack couldn't be more excited and proud to have a baby brother. He is so cute with Brody and we feel so lucky. Jeff's parents came out to help and were very excited to meet their 4th grandson (4-for-4, they need to play the lottery)!

Here's Brody at 1 day old!

Zack and Brody on Tuesday

We were given the option to spend 3 nights in the hospital (like the last go round) or head home after 2 nights. Check please. We were waiting all morning to get sprung and finally got to check out and head home around noon. We got Brody dressed and ready to go and took the obligatory pictures before we went home again to try and figure this out for the second time.

Let the adventures (and fun) begin.
