Houdini

Brynnlee has turned into Houdini at night. Jeff and I always swaddle her pretty tight for the night since our house gets a little cold. She has always been able to kick out of my swaddling but Jeff gets her really tight. Tonight though, she finally accomplished the task of breaking free from her dad's best attempts at swaddling, not even once but multiple times. Here is what she looks like when we put her to bed.

And her is what we have been waking up to.

I guess I should have known though. In the womb she was always kicking as soon as I wore something tight around my waist. Brynnlee was also very busy in the night because not only did she manage to break free from her blanket but she also broke free from her hand covers. We put her to bed looking like this:

And we woke up to this:

What an efficient little pill she has become. Good thing she is so cute.

I also wanted to show my latest purchase at Walmart. It's much too big for her now, but will be perfect for next year's football season.

1 month old!!!

I can't believe that Brynnlee is already a month old. It really does seem like we were just in the hospital getting ready to have her and here she is already growing up so fast. We have had so many fun experiences already with her including smiles, laughs, crying (for good and sad reasons-mostly good from Jeff and I), peeing on family, cuddling with mommy, throwing up on mommy, blowouts in outfits, staring at the mobile for long periods of time, late night feedings, playing with daddy, no sleep, reading books with mom, walks, spending time with grandparents and aunts and uncles, and most recently peeing and pooping all over mom and dad's bed at 4:00 in the morning!!! See I wouldn't ever change any of the last month for any thing in the world. Brynnlee is the greatest blessing in our lives. We wanted to have some fun pictures of her for her 1 month birthday so on Saturday we found this cute coat that Megan and John let us borrow and dressed her up in it. She fell asleep right away (if we only knew that before all those late night cryings). We then took way too many pictures of her in it because she is just way too cute. She is still a little small for it, but it will fit great all winter long. I can't wait to put her in it again, my little Brynnlee bear!!!!

Grandpa's 89th Birthday

Last week was Jeff's Grandpa Bonner's 89th birthday. We went over and had a great time eating cake and ice cream and seeing Jeff's family. Here are some pictures of the Great-grandkids with Grandpa.

Our Precious Angel

Jeff's sister Megan came over last Saturday to take some pictures of Brynnlee. Of course our little angel didn't want to cooperate, and after multiple peeing and pooping incidents, along with crying and refusing to fall asleep or stay in any poses that Megan tried to put her in, we finally got these cute pictures. Megan did a wonderful job, and I am so grateful for her patience with our angel. Thanks Meg!!!

11 days old

Wow!!! I can't believe how fast time flys and my little girl is getting bigger each moment. It has been a huge change for me, but I wouldn't trade any minute of it. I love her so much. She can make me so frustrated, in love, and laughing all at the same time. Here are some of our cute pictures from the first week home.

She's here!

Brynnlee joined our family Thursday night at 6:18. It was a super easy delivery, but c-sections definitly have their hard recovery. It has been very painful to move around, and today was the first day I even ventured outside my room. I only made it down the hall and back. Brynnlee is doing really well. She was only 6 pounds 1 ounce and 19 inches long. The nurses were worried about her blood sugar since she was so small, but she has been a trooper and hasn't had a problem. She loves to suck on everything, especially her fingers, but her sucking has been a great thing for me because she nurses really well. We just love her and can't wait to spend the rest of our lives with our beautiful baby girl.

Brynnlee is on her way!!!!

Friday we found out that Brynnlee is arriving Thursday!! We are so excited, and a little nervous. I guess 9/9 is her special day.
