.she's a keeper.


I just took this picture of Brynn taking a nap. The boys are at church and now I finally have a second to make a post!

Things are well. Brynn has been out of her bilibed since Tuesday! We were all so glad to see that thing go. My delivery with her was fast, too fast for an epidural!!! She was born less than 30 minutes after my water broke. When she came out she was as bruised as I've ever seen a baby could be. :( It was so sad. You may have noticed in her pictures she still has a black eye and here eyes are still pretty bloodshot. The combination of being posterior, having the cord wrapped around her neck and from her face"slamming against my pelvis" as the Doctor put it so nicely was the reason she was so beat up. On the positive, she's looking much better everyday.

We are all so in love. She's been a good baby so far and even slept 6 hours in a row last night! (knock on wood) although I was pretty sore and she had a hard time latching on when she woke up. The boys want to constantly hold her. Gage is obsessed and is touching her constantly. What good big bothers they are...

Gotta go, Brynn just woke up!
