Brynlee is here!!!

So, it seems like I was pregnant FOREVER, but Brynlee is finally here. You say it like the y is an i. She is so precious. She came on March 10th at 6:41 pm and weighed 7.3 lbs and was 19 inches long. My C-Section went well too and my recovery has been way easier with her than it was with Cole. I had forgotten how beautiful and precious a newborn is. She is such a blessing and wonderful addition to our little family. She is a good baby too. She sleeps ok, as long as she is snuggled, she just loves to be held, all day and night. I think that is because Grandma and Grandpa Whitney were here for her first two weeks and she really was snuggled most of the time. Her hair is reddish, she looks a lot like Cole did when he was born too. Cole is adjusting well. He LOVES his baby sister. When she cries he goes to her and starts singing and patting her and telling her "it's ok baby sister!" He loves to give her kisses and hug her and rub his cheek on her fuzzy hair. He is a very good big brother, we are so proud of him for that!

Here are some pictures my dad took, the lighting is just perfect and she just looks so cute!




Kevin is holding her. I can't believe how little she is!

She has the biggest yawns ever. Half the time she knocks herself over backwards when she yawns.


This is when we were leaving the hospital. Stacey made the cute hat.




This was her first bath. She wouldn't let go of the binkie, but she did not cry.

Cole loves her and loves to love on her!

She has a goopy eye, we call it her pirate eye. Cole laughs whenever she has it closed and he does the pirate look as well.

Cole is already learning to share with her.



Cole and Grandpa Whitney were good buddies when they were here. Thank goodness for Grandpa who took him out on walks and bike rides and dug in the big dirt pile and build sand castles and whatever else Cole could come up with to steal Grandpa's attention!


He is so silly!
