Ellie got a little brother this weekend:
William Gilbert Brogan arrived at 2:47 AM on Sunday. 8 pounds 11 oz. and perfect.
The question now is how long will it take us to get used to a typical kid, doing typical things. Poop, eating, and sleeping are all new for us and force us to admit to the nurses that we are not quite first time parents.
Abby and I both look to clear IV lines when we pick him up.
Ellie wanted us to know that he shouldn't be afraid about dressing changes and wondered where his ostomy bag was because that's what babies have.
How different it would have been to have the complicated kid come second.

Congratulations! He's adorable! I'm sure Miss Ellie is going to take good care of her baby brother. :)
I still look to clear IV lines when picking up baby. Congratulations! He is beautiful.
William is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!!
HOORAY! Welcome to the world, baby William! Can't wait to meet him. You got this. And when you feel like you don't, call. Seriously, call! Hugs and congrats, Brogan family!
Congrats! Yes, you can bet it would have been pretty different if the special one was not the first. Albert is the third!!! A big kiss from Barcelona! Pilar - Albert's mom.
I have wondered the same thing about having a "typical" child first. I think having that experience second makes you so much more likely to enjoy the little "normal" things. That is, after you get over thinking the worst is just around the corner! I'm so glad things are going well!
CONGRATULATIONS ABBY, GIB and ELLIE! William is a beautiful baby! THANK YOU for sharing pictures.....what an angel! ~Melissa
He is so beautiful. What an adorable mouth. When Katelyn was born it took a while to sink in that she didn't need medicine or feeds. I nearly had a panic attack when she was two days old because she threw up a lot of mucus. Later that day she had her first dirty diaper and I could finally relax. So glad you are all home!
