Beginnings!

Well Brett and I finally become parents so we figured it is time to start a blog so all our loved ones can keep up with our growing little family!

Okay, so here are the details:
Brooklyn Sue Fluckiger
Born December 30, 2008, 6:16 AM
Weighing 6 lbs 4 oz
18 inches long

And here is the story of our little angel:

We got a phone call from our adoption agency on December 12 saying that a birth mother had come to Utah and she was due on January 12. The baby was a girl and the mother did not want to choose the adoptive couple. The agency called us very first. We were ecstatic to say the least! We gladly accepted and spent the rest of the day trying to track down my mom to tell her she was going to be a grandma (I promised she would be the first to know right after Brett). Then she called everybody and their dogs to tell them the good news.

We were anxiously planning and waiting when we received a phone call on Christmas Eve telling us that our little girl was going to be born a little early. She was coming on Tuesday. Of course we went into overdrive to try to get ready and could hardly believe it was finally happening.

Brett and I headed out to Salt Lake City on Monday afternoon and started waiting for the phone call to tell us to come to the hospital. That call came in at 5:45 Tuesday morning. While we were rushing to the hospital we received a phone call letting us know that Brooklyn had arrived at 6:16 and she was waiting for us! We got to the hospital and got to watch her through the nursery window for an hour while the nurses finished up their paperwork. We were able to take Brooklyn into a spare room and spend the whole day with her. It was amazing! She was so perfect we can hardly believe how blessed we are! We signed the adoption papers the next morning and then we were able to bring her home on Thursday morning!
