Brady is FINALLY here...

Our new little guy has finally arrived. I can honestly say it was the hardest thing I've ever done--bringing him into this world. (Yes, harder than squeezing two babies out, 8 minutes apart.) To all you mama's of big babies out there...YOU ARE AMAZING! I had no idea what child birth was really like until I pushed this big guy out! His delivery was nothing like I anticipated, having done it once/twice already, it was a major shock, but like anything amazing in this life, all the hard work was so incredibly worth it.
I'll Blog the whole story later and I promise you, you haven't heard anything like it...there was drama, desperation, pleading prayers to a loving Heavenly Father, a huge miracle, a big baby and some major screaming on my part, stayed tuned. But in the mean time, we would like to announce...

Brady Cameron Clyde

It was "happy hour" at Sonic on our way home, so we stopped so Brady could quench his thirst.

Congrats! He is super cute. You are freaking me out a little with the unknown story so please share soon. I really hope mine isn't big. I thought I was going to die with a 5 lb. baby last time so give details so I can prepare mentally. Again, congrats!

Congrats! I saw pictures yesterday at Church from very proud Grandparents. He is very handsome! I heard part of the story and I'm so glad everything turned out ok. It was definitely a blessing.

Hope you both are doing fine and the twins are adjusting well.

Congratulations! He''s so cute, and so much hair! I am dying to hear the story. It sounds a little too familiar to me- Kimball was 9 lbs 5oz and I still shudder when I think of the tears and screams! I also can't wait to see pics of the twins with him. Good job!
