Teddy came almost 2 weeks early. I felt my water break in the middle of the night on Sunday, but just slowly, and no contractions. I wasn't exactly sure if it had indeed ruptured, so Monday morning we went to the Dr. to get it checked out, and sure enough I was going to have a baby. We were admitted into the hospital, after which Derek took Jack home so Bill and Nina could watch him (Thank you!!). The contractions mildly began around noon so I got an epidural and pitocin. About 4 hours later the contractions started to really hurt and all of a sudden I was fully dilated and the baby was coming. No more than 5 pushes later we welcomed Teddy into the world. It was a night and day experience from Jack to Teddy. I can actually think about having another one, where with Jack that wasn't going to happen any time soon!
Theodore James Simmons was born at 5:34 pm, weighed in at a tiny 5 lbs 9 oz and 17 in long. He is just a little squirt but is as cute as can be! It's amazing to think that Jack was this tiny size just a few years ago!
Bill and Nina brought Jack over to visit and see baby brother. He was so excited to see him and wanted to hold him and give him kisses. But I think he got more excited about the fun new toy baby brother brought for him.
He has been a great little guy, just as precious as can be. I can be completely content with just staring at little Teddy for hours on end. It is an adjustment going from two to one, but I'm sure we will figure it out. I just love our little family and the newest addition to it!

I would write more nice things but I'm a little distracted and annoyed at how amazing you look. Seriously, you look great...good luck with those last 5 lb's- jerk!
Britt you are amazing! You are such a beautiful mother and Teddy is just adorable (James is my Dad's middle name, love that name). I know Jack will be a great big brother.
Your story totally brings me back to when I had Landon and two days before I went into labor we were touring NYC with you guys and then I went into labor 2 weeks early.
Anyway, love you guys and I'm so happy for you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Yeah! I am so happy for you guys! I got the email from Derek that you were in the hospital and couldn't believe it! Theo is so cute and that's probably great for you that he was a little squirt;) Glad labor and delivery were pretty easy for you! Can't wait to see him.
Love,
Chels and Kirk
