"Aww! Hi there, Broderick!"-Tasha and Andrew Hibbert
I was asked to witness and document an amazing thing. The birth of a handsome, little perfect, healthy baby boy. His name is Broderick Thomas. His parents, Tasha and Andrew, have been in love with his name for nine years. They have been saving his name for when and if they ever welcomed a son into our world. When they discovered they were having a boy during Tasha's pregnancy they asked their daughter Braelyn to say his name out loud so they could hear it in her sweet voice. "Who's in mommy's tummy?" they would ask. "Baby!!" Braelyn would announce happily. "What is your dolly's name?" they would ask. "Brody!!!" Braelyn would exclaim. So, as soon as they heard her voice say his name, they knew Broderick (also known as Brody) would be it. When Tasha asked me if I have ever done something like this before, you know, watch another woman give birth. I was completely honest with her and told her I have not, but I'd be game for the experience. I mean, c'mon, I've pushed out three myself so it couldn't be that bad, right?! ;) Boy-oh-boy, it was amazing. Beautiful. And so precious. There was so much love in her delivery room. Her nurses and her doctor at Bryan East in Lincoln, were ahhhmazing. Andrew was so supportive and cried the sweetest happy tears throughout. He jokingly told her to be done by a certain time so they could watch the College World Series with Broderick. Somehow, her body responded and it happened! Tasha was nothing short of Superwoman through her delivery. She labored and delivered beautifully. Welcome to the world, Broderick! I can't wait to watch you grow with your loving family that has been so eager to swaddle you in hugs and kisses!
Thank you for being here! Enjoy the delivery of Broderick Thomas!
