Here is the latest for ya'll...it has been going pretty well...everyone eventually left last night about 9pm and so for the first time, just the 3 Bradfords were together! Pretty cool...and a huge praise that my parents (Rev. C. V. and Dee Bradford) made it here yesterday at around 6pm! Impressive for a 900+ mile trip in less than 2 days...now, the challenge yesterday was trying to get her to breastfeed...I never dreamed it would be a challenge to start the baby eating in that way! Finally this morning it has started to come easier and Halle is taking to it a little better now...Keep praying for rest though as they wake Shan up every 2 hours or so to feed, thus keeping her quite tired.
Also, it has been such a blessing to have our church family here care for us...College Wesleyan has been so amazing at doing just that...loving on us!
Oh and I was able to sleep some last night here in the hospital room on a roll out single bed, so at least now we are coming to rest a little, which is a much needed change. Lastly, the nurse said the goal today is to get the magnesium drip, IV, and catheter out, so yay! Making Progress...but thanks again for praying! We will keep you all posted!

Brian,
Congratulations, Daddy! Welcome to the awesome world of parenthood! There will come a moment when you can't remember life without little Halle! I'll never forget when Tony and I took Dylan home from the hospital. He stopped to get gas and started to get out of the truck, but peeked back in and said, "This is the first time I'm getting gas as a Daddy!" CONGRATS!!

Wow! I skip a day or two checking the blog, and look what happens... Congratulations! Glad Halle is here and that Shannon is doing well. Tell her to rest and try to relax (even with the breastfeeding) Halle will get the hang of it soon, and all of this initial stress will be a memory. :)
Congrats!! Just got home from vacation and was excited to see your news.
C-section is a hard recovery, especially the first week or so, but tell Shannon to hang in there!! In a few weeks it will all be a distant memory.
Enjoy your little one in spite of the frustrations!!

CONGRATS!! Enjoy every moment :) Rachel just turned two, and #2 Gormong will come late August.
And by the way...sleep is over rated!!
