Our Family of Five

We had a nice suprise early on St. Patricks Day. At 1 am I started having contractions. I woke Jeff up at about 2:30 am (not wanting to wake him for a false alarm). At about 3:30 am we decided that we should probably go the hospital and see what was going on. (At this point I was still in denial that I could be going into labor 2 1/2 weeks early). We took the kids to my grandparents house about 4ish and headed to the hospital. After finding out that I was dialating, they said we were ready to have this baby! Jeff gave me a very sincere blessing of peace and comfort, and we headed off to the operating room. At 6:20 Brody was born. He weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces, and was 18 inches long. He came out healthy and cute as ever! Thanks to everyone who has helped us and visited us!

In rememberance of Jeff's Grandma that recently passed away, the Stevenson family decided to do a humanitarian project. She was a huge believer of donating, and so each year the family wants to do something around her birthday.
Between Jeff and the family they decided to donate stuffed animals to Gold Cross. Gold Cross keeps the stuffed animals on the trucks to give to children who are being transported. Overall there was a total of 77 stuffed animals! It was so great! Jeff was able to have his supervisor Nic, and another medic Dave come to recieve the donation. Jeff was able to bring over an ambulance, which the kids LOVED! We were able to take lots of pictures, but good luck getting all of the kids to look, let alone smile! Thanks to everyone for making it such a successful day!
