We are Home

Ok, I was busy getting a baby here so I wasn't posting. Jeremy took care of that for me. We took our laptop to the hospital and hooked up to the wi-fi. Great times we live in!

Thanks for all your well wishes and I'll be posting some more pics on the family website. Can't wait for you all to meet her!

2:45am

I decided that I like it better when Heather is induced at a normal hour than the 2:45 wake up to... Ummm Jeremy I think my water broke.

So we are here at the hospital with a predicted afternoon delivery.

With Regard to the Baby...

I went to the doctor last Friday and got the update.

No change from last weeks progress, which was not much to write home about anyway. My swelling was ridiculous but Dr. A said I don't have pre-eclampsia {they induced me three weeks early with Brynns for this}. So he ran some blood tests to make sure my liver and kidneys were functioning properly. He said he would have the results by the afternoon and if anything looked off that it would be the last day I was pregnant. They never called, so that means I'm A-OK.

Which is good because Brynns decided to puke all over me Sunday afternoon as I'm walking down the hallway at church. Yeah, there was no sleeping, lots of puking, lots of cleaning carpets, floors, couches, & clothes. But I'm glad I was at home and not at the hospital, because who can take better care of that sick baby than her mama??

And on a final note, if I make it to Sunday still pregnant it will officially be the longest I have ever gone. We'll see what this Friday's appointment has in store for us.

Brynnlee's 3rd Birthday

Flowers from Daddy.

She blew out all the candles!

The "Belle Birthday"

Brynn's originally wanted an Ariel Party. That was up until I helped Lindsay with her Belle cake for Kaiya. After that Brynnlee wanted nothing to do with mermaids and Belle took center stage.

While this cake did go smoother than the last one, it was still a ton of work. These suckers are a pain, but in the end worth it when you hear your little girl exclaim, "Oh mom, it looks wonderful!"

I told you she liked that word.

You can't see much detail in these pics, but I'll put others on the fam website if you are so inclined to hop over there.

3 Already?

It's a special day over here so here are three things about our lovely girl.

• Brynnlee is now completely a "daddy's girl". This, after spending the first 3 months of her life screaming like a banshee every time he picked her up. {she still tends to scream like a banshee, but now for other reasons such as the we didn't pick out the right shirt, or she wants a pink bowl instead of yellow}
  

{this was typical Brynns for a VERY long time}

• Brynnlee is all girl and waits in my bathroom every Sunday morning as I put on my make-up for her chance to get "lips". She also loves getting her nails painted and has myriad of slightly different shades of pink polish.

• Brynnlee is a chatterbox and loves to use words such as wonderful, beautiful, and fabulous. She is constantly talking and if she isn't talking she is singing. Non-stop over here, but we love it.
  
  

Happy Birthday Brynner Bear!
