I arrived early morning at the hospital to find Brittney just resting and enjoying herself--she had just gotten the epideral. After Bridger was born she announced that she should be a surrogate mother because she could "do this every day."
This is just seconds after he is born. I was so lucky to get to see the birth. We all cried when he was born and we heard that first little wail of life. It's such a miracle!
Here he is, his perfect little self. We couldn't believe how alert he was from the first minute.
Yep, that's a Hart head all right....could even be in the 95th percentile.

Mom, I'm so proud you did this whole post by yourself! How did you ever remember? Thanks for all your help with Bridger! I don't know what I would have done without you. Isn't he the cutest? He must be related to us!
That last comment was from me (Brittney) not Jake.
What a great looking baby. He also has great looking relatives. I can hardly wait to meet Bridger.
