Tanner Wade Gift

Tanner Wade Gift was born on September 17th at 2:30 in the morning.  He weighed in at 8 pounds 3 ounces and was 21 inches long.  My water broke around 10:15 at night, I felt my first contraction around 11:00, and he was born a couple hours later.  

Some back story....Kyle had already gone to bed and was fast asleep.  Graham was actually still awake.  (?!) I thought my water had broken, but I wasn't sure because it was different from the first two.  So I called a few times for Kyle.  (I was downstairs.)  Graham comes running out to the landing and yells, "Daddy has already gone night-night!"  OK.  So then Graham takes it upon himself to run into our bedroom and wake up Kyle.  "Daddy, Daddy, Momma is calling your name!"  We decide to get ready to go to the hospital.  Mom and Dad come over to spend the night.  About 15 minutes later - 10:15  - Graham decides he is hungry and wants cheese and crackers.  Well, once he realized that Papa and Gigi were coming over for a sleepover, he was wired.  So he heads downstairs with Kyle, and Kyle turns on a cartoon for him while he eats his snack on the couch.  Mom and Dad come over, we're chatting before heading off to the hospital, and the entire time Graham is telling us to "SHHH" - I can't hear my show!!  Hilarious!

We get in the car and start driving to the hospital.  I begin to feel my first contractions.  Kyle is taking his sweet time driving - going 25 mph in a 35 mph zone - trying to get his GPS to tell him how to get to the hospital.  When we both already know how to get to the hospital.  Ummmm.....yeah.  Finally, I tell him to speed it up - I can tell him how to get there.  And just a few short hours later, Tanner Wade Gift was born!  Graham LOVED coming to the hospital to meet him!  (Brooks was sick and didn't make a visit to the hospital.)

We think our newest little guy really resembles his brothers....!
