Trip to Austin

Crockett and I went to Austin last week to visit Mama C and Bogey. Crockett got to see and meet some of my favorite people while we were there.

We met Carolyn Ann after work at Motzarts on Tuesday. It was so fun taking Crockett to a very "Austin" venue.

On Wednesday morning Crockett got to meet his future buddy Hunter Robinson. Crockett and Hunter were born 13 days apart. Although they are very close in age it was fun to see the differences that a few days make!

Kimberley and I have been friends since 8th grade. It is so fun to share this special time together. We compared being a new mommy and asked each other a million questions. Can't wait to get together again!!

After our visit with Mama C's friends (I forgot to take pictures), Crockett cuddled up with his Mama C for a night of Dancing With the Stars and The Mentalist.

While we were in Austin we also got to have lunch with my friend Katherine. The day before we left for Austin, I got this in the mail...

Such a cute way to ask me to be in her wedding! I cannot wait to stand next to her as she and Whit say their vows. They are a precious couple and I am SO excited for the wedding!!

Crockett's Birthday!

Crockett James Srp was born on March 3, 2011 @ 3:32pm.

We arrived at North Central Baptist Hospital at 5:00am to be induced. (41 weeks pregnant) They began the pitocin "pit drip" at 7:00am. My doctor came in around 8:30 to break my water... although it was very anticlimactic, it did the trick and I was in full on labor quickly!

In between contractions I was able to smile for a picture with my dad. He was born on March 3, 1951 and was celebrating his 60th birthday at the hospital waiting for his 2nd grandson to be born.

Thanks to a fabulous epidural, I progressed quickly and painlessly through labor. I began pushing at 2:30 and Crockett was born at 3:32.

We were surprised at the fact that he had dark hair and that he weighed 8 lb. 7 oz. (The doctor had told us 2 days before that he was measuring around 6 lb. 14 oz.)

This is the first picture that Michael took with his phone to text to all of our family anxiously waiting in the waiting room.

Smiling with my family... My dad "Bogey", my mom "Mama C" and my sister "Aunt Emma"... wishing that Uncle Bo, Aunt Brooke and Cousin Cal could have been there. (We talked on Face Time a little later.)

Smiling with the Srps... Mike's dad "Pa", mom "Mimi", Uncle Matt, Aunt Laura, Aunt Tracey, Cousin Hannah and Cousin Hailey. We missed Uncle Mike and Cousin Eli and Cousin Cullen!
