Tanner

So last week we had a baby.  We named him Tanner Gordon Briscoe.  We love him.  Even though I had to be induced like with Riley, Tanner got here much faster.  Yay for second babies!

Tanner was born December 12th weighing 8 pounds 8 ounces and 21.5 inches long.  He has tons of hair (he kind of needs a haircut) and likes to sleep especially during the day.

Riley loves Tanner and talks to "baby Tanna" all day and shares his toys with him.  He's a pretty cute big brother.  I'm doing good considering I just had a baby.  Andrew's doing good too and is enjoying his time off from work.  He has gone to a few meetings this week, but other than that he should be home until the beginning of the year.

In case you were wondering Riley was 8 pounds 10 ounces and 21 inches long.  Also Riley had dark hair too, but not as much.  It all fell out and grew back blonde. 

Due date

Sunday was new baby's due date, it's Wednesday and he's still not here.  No one should have to go past their due date.  I will go in for an induction tomorrow if nothing happens before then.  I feel like it should have by now.  At my appointment last week I was dilated to a 4 and had my membranes swept.  Sorry if that's too much information.  Yesterday I was dilated a little more and had my membranes swept again.  I have also been having contractions every evening for over a week.  They just haven't been very hard and they get weaker and less often around 10:00 at night.  It's kind of weird.

Also everyday he is inside me he gets bigger and bigger, and if he's anything like Riley he doesn't need to get bigger.

I'm not very patient, but I'm trying.  I'm sending Carly, my missionary sister, some quotes for Christmas, because that's what she wants.  And one I found said, "Faith in the Lord includes faith in his timing."  I'm working on it. . .

Hopefully the next post this blog sees is of a happy new baby.  :)
