Brynlee Lorene

We added another angel to our family at 4:36 this morning missing our Thursday goal by only 4 1/2 hours. (I guess we will let her first obedience test slide.) She weighs 8lbs and is 21 1/2 inches long - and beautiful!!! She has been very sleepy today and not very interested in eating so I think we will have to stay the night. I was really looking forward to sleeping in my own bed, but I may have to wait until tomorrow. So far she is a really good baby and is very mellow - we pray for that to continue. Even when they prick her she doesn't cry or even flinch. We feel so blessed to have her in our family.




About 2 hours old


Meeting their baby sister. Our friend Lynnette was so great to come over to our house at 2:45 a.m. so we could go to the hospital. We are lucky to have such good friends around us! Thank you, Lynnette!


Brynlee's first bath - she hardly cried at all.

We waited to give Brynlee her bath so the girls could watch.

Wow, are you wonder mom or what! Already blogging, and Brynlee's not even 24 hours old! I'm impressed, Katrina. And she is so beautiful. She looks like one of yours! I love the pictures of Whitney and Makenna with Brynlee.

LOVE IT! Sorry you've gotta stick around, but I say better to spend one extra night and get it straightened out than have to come back for 4 days later:)
Congrats again...

Brynlee is a cute name. And you are brave to want to go home so soon. Can't wait to hear how it all went. It is so exciting for you, and I'm glad she came when you wanted her to. Happy Family.

I've been thinking about you this weekend. How great to get this update today! Congrats on your new little bundle! Brynlee...seven letters. Well Done. So much cuter than Reebok (that's not even seven letters. What was he thinking?) Congrats!!

I really didn't believe that you would blog so quickly so I didn't check until today. You are faster than I thought! Brynlee is adorable and the pictures are all so great. I love that Whitney has her face painted in one of them--reminds me of Daniel, his face was painted as a tiger when you brought him to see Jessica at the hospital. Do you remember that? I love how big and bright Whitney and Kenna's eyes and smiles are. It is obvious that they are truly in love with their sister. You guys are so blessed to have now 3 beautiful, perfect girls. I can't wait to come and see her.

Dave said...

Oh, I just want to come and hold her right now. I'm glad she was mellow with everything. Hyrum wasn't so much:). I'm glad everything went well. She's darling.

Hey there!
So glad to see your new addition! Congratulations! She is a doll. Sorry we haven't seen you in a while. New babies are always a great excuse though! Love the tummy pictures. Looks like just your tummy got bigger, so you will be looking great in no time. Love the blog too. Hope to see you soon. Say hi to Mike and the girls for us.
