Beckham Tyler Bredthauer

I love being in the hospital! I love having new babies. I love the whole labor and delivery, it's such a special and exciting time for me. This third time was no different, I loved the experience of welcoming sweet Beckham into the world.
A few things I'd like to remember about those few days:
*Driving to the hospital at 3:30 a.m., there were ashes falling all over our car and we had to use the windshield wipers. There were many fires this season and the wind blew the ash over on us for at least a week.
*We got the room with the beautiful view of the mountains!
*We got there and Ty and I walked the empty halls of the hospital for almost 2 hours.
*Ty hooked up his laptop and we watched several episodes of 24.
*The guy who did my epidural explained step by step what he was doing...I didn't like that!
*Beckham came after pushing only 9 minutes and I was SO excited to see him that I was shaking!
*After birth, my first meal was steak and lobster...oh boy was it good! I've always like the hospital food though!
*My favorite snack was graham crackers and peanut butter.
*Ty slept on a very noisy couch...poor guy!
*Every single nurse commented several times on what a big boy he was, he looked so little to me!
*The hospital is only 5 minutes away from our house so visits from the boys were often and I loved it!
Now for a few pics to document the hospital time!

With Mom...I fell in love with him immediately!

With his handsome daddy

Big brothers come to visit and can't get enough of him

1st bath and he LOVED it! He has loved baths ever since and never cries!

Holding Grandma Gigi's hands...we were so happy she was there to help us!

Every time the boys came to visit, Grandma Gigi helped them pick out a fun outfit or present to bring baby Beckham

Big brothers loved getting popsicles at the hospital...they definitely had more than one.

My favorite Britain"isms"!

3/21/11:Love my boy...yesterday at dinner Britain came up with this: "Hey Mom, Heavenly Father knows everything, like how to fly a kite, how to break a pinata, how to take down people when they're naughty, he can just do everything!" Ha, what a boy!
9/28/10: We've been working on rhyming with Brit and he's been doing really good, but he'll always throw something out like, "Hey Mom, what rhymes with baseball bat? How 'bout craseball bat or gaseball bat?" Or other words like, "what rhymes with syrup? Lurrup? Furrup?" I guess they do rhyme they just aren't words. It's pretty cute!
9/10/10: Mom do you like bugs that suck your blood or bugs that put "toys in" you?" He's been looking at bug cards and we've talked about dangerous bugs that put "poison" in you:)
9/8/10: Mommy said, "Brit, why are you in bed with us? You need to sleep in your own bed or HE"LL be sad!" Brit: " HE doesn't even have a face! He can't be sad...sheesh Mom!"
4/16/10: Britain was looking at a picture of him and Braden and said, "Mommy, look at Braden...he's so cute!" I said, "Yes he is and so are you!" "Mom! I'm not cute, I'm a big boy! And I'm....cool! Yes I'm cool!"
4/10: I was changing Brit's diaper in a public bathroom and he starts saying, very loudly, "Mommy, please don't throw me up on the ceiling again, I don't like it when you throw me up there pecause(because) there are rabbits up there and they don't like when I go up there in their house. I hope you don't throw me up there again...etc" He's such a talker and has an imagination, but I'm sure there were some women wondering why I always throw my child!
3/26/10: Brit and I were watching a coyote in the backyard and he said, "Look mom...it's a doggy!" I corrected him by saying, "Nope, it's a coyote!" Brit: "Oh!" 2 hours later..."Mommy, remember when we saw that doggy named Keylote(Key-low-tee)?"
3/10: Mom says, "Aww Britain, Braden sure loves you!" Britain's reply, "Yes he does and I love....FROGS!" I'm sure he loves Braden too:)
1/14/2010: Britain LOVES other kids even if we don't know them. In the doctors waiting room there were several kids playing with the toys and Britain was with them. He yelled over at me from across the room, "Mom look! I have so many friends!" There were several chuckles from throughout the room. He does have a lot of friends!
1/2010: Everytime I tell Britain what we are going to do that day he replies, "Wow, dat will be fun!"
1/14/2010: Britain has started saying the word "sure" a lot and I just noticed today that he really never says yes, it's always said excitedly, "Shhh-ore!"
1/12/2010: The other day I came downstairs to see that Britain had brought his milk down and spilled some. I started to clean it up and told him that he shouldn't do that again. He said, "Dat was an akizent(accident) and I won't do it again Mommy," and started walking upstairs then said under his breath, "at yeast(least) I hope not!"
1/2010: Brit loves graham crackers...one day he demanded one and I told him that he needs to say it nicer like, "May I have one please Mother?" So he repeated me. Well now he always says "May I have a graham cracker peas Mudder?" everytime he wants one. He never ever calls me "Mudder" except for when he wants a graham cracker...the rest of the time it's "Mama"
