Brennen Carter Graf made his debut at 9:38PM on Friday June 19, 2009 weighing in at 8 pounds and 6 ounces at a height of 20 3/4 inches long. The doctors and nurses were wonderful. However, the husband couch was amazingly awful. Thank goodness my mother-in-law was able to bring my sleeping bag mattress up to the hospital. If having to change your sleep patterns to accomodate the baby is a challenge enough, try it with a back ache where you can't stand up straight for a couple of days.
After watching and experiencing Brennen's birth, we can honestly say we are grateful we did not do a home birth and would never consider one now that we have been through one.
The amount of love you can have for a small human being that you just met is so overwhelming. Having a child completely dependent on you is definitely a life-changing experience.
