The Pre-Story

Mommy started feeling contractions on a Friday morning around 8:00 AM as we were sitting on the couch together watching our morning dose of "Thomas the Tank Engine," wrapped up in my Thomas blanket, with my stuffed Thomas in our laps. I was supposed to have a playdate at JumpZone with my buddy Jax, but we had to cancel since Mommy was in pain! Daddy came home from work when the contractions were 10 minutes apart. Then they dropped me off at Jax's house and headed off to Conway, AR where Brooklyn was born. I was glad we still got to play!

The arrived at the hospital. It took 25 minutes to get there. Daddy was timing the contractions...

...and Mommy was writing them down.

Here's the room they stayed in for the whole experience. It felt like a hotel room.

Even Daddy had a bed. Quite the accomodations!

Nana and Grandpa D drove to Maumelle, picked me up at Jax's house, and we were off for the hospital. Mommy called to check on our status.

We arrived at the hospital and briefly said "hi" to Mommy and Daddy.

And then we waited in the waiting room...

...and waited...

...and waited! I waited patiently in my "Big Brother" t-shirt.

All the nurses knew me as the kid who was fascinated by the color tiles on the floor!
