Not many know how Number 2 came about, so let me tell you the story. It all started with a twinkle and a shimmer in the eyes of Mom and Dad (no elaborating will be done). Fast forward to approximately 9 months later and that's where we'll begin. It was a relaxing Friday night spent celebrating Lee's (Maren's mom) birthday. Food, Cake, Fun, who could ask for anything more. Dad found himself falling in and out of a deep sleep on the couch while Mom was trying all sorts of "have your baby now" spells. Dad finally dragged himself off the couch and went to bed. Mom gave up on her spells and witch craft and decided to go to bed too.
In a dazed state of confusion, Dad awoke to a moan and an even louder, "Dust!" A blurry "11:30" showed on the clock as Dad realized that this was NOT false alarm number 3. "My water broke" mom cried, and in one quick move, Dad changed into his Super Dad clothes (worn out jeans and an old T-shirt), grabbed mom and her bag and whisked her to the car.Dad carved up the back roads from Kyle to Southwest Austin like an experienced Formula 1 driver, while Mom squealed in pain every 3 to 5 minutes. Dad was quick, but couldn't compete with Mom. 45 minutes after arriving at the Hospital, Jensen Reid came out kicking, which tells me he's going to have quick feet, and we know he's going to have those patented Brudnicki soft hands. Our Number 2 may never be as famous as Dr. Evil's number 2, but we'll take him.
Okay, Maren is telling me to shut up and give stats. Jensen's projected to have 4.3 40 speed and a 45 inch vertical (if there are any college scouts out there, we're taking scholarship offers now). 8 lbs. 21 inches. The mailman's jet black hair (and plenty of it). -Dustin

You guys are funny and you sure make cute kids! As quick as I always want labor to be, no epidural just sucks. What a woman you've got there Dustin. (my epi didn't work with Hollis so I have felt delivery both ways) Congrats again!!
That was hysterical! I'm glad you posted it or I never would have gotten to read it. Whoa, talk about majorly fast delivery!!! Maybe the Kyle hospital will be up and running and have a supremely fabulous meternity ward by time you shoot for baby #3. :)
Congrats! I guess when Jensen wanted to come, that was it, he was coming. Funny how it's never on our time! I bet you're glad he's in the real world now! Take care and get some rest (if that's even possible with 2 kids)!
Ha ha Dustin! Thanks for sparing us some of the details!
Jensen is beautiful. I love all that hair! I hope Carson is adjusting well. Just wait, soon he will be rolling all over the top of little Jensen and roughing him up. It is inevitable! In my experience, number two is always a tough baby!!
I just realized that all you names end in "sen..at least the sound.) My other friend's family did this too, so here are some ideas for your next bundle of joy: Jason, Jackson and Emerson - that is their theme so far anyway!
Congratulations guys! We are so excited for your new addition. Carson must be so proud of his new baby brother. We are currently expecting #4. Raelyn is hoping and praying for a girl. She says hi and she misses her favorite piano teacher. We wish the best for your cute growing family.
Congratulations you guys! So cute!
