Brookys first week

I am SO behind on blogging...I've thought of just stopping completely. But then I remember that this really is my only form of journaling. I really want to keep up with blogging and then print out yearly books to look back on. I know it will be worth it. :) So here I go to try and catch up! 

Brooky is such a sweet baby. She is much easier than Brighton was, so that is a HUGE blessing. 

This is my absolute favorite picture of my THREE kids! I still cannot believe that there are 3 of them. ;)

There was LOTS of tired going on in our house the first week of Brookys life. Sleep deprivation is by far my least favorite thing about having a baby. SO hard!!

Her defined widows peak is so adorable!! Love love love my Brooklyn. 

Fun collages

I love making little photo collages. So fun! 

Here are my 3 babies when they were newborns. 

Three stages of my pregnancy with Brooky.

Here are my girls at three days old. Funny how Brighty looks all relaxed and Brooky looks stressed out. 

I call this one the "in and out baby." :) 

Brooklyn Reese is born!

Being induced is the best! We went in to the hospital at about 10am on June 7th, started the induction around noon, and had our little sweetie at 4:54pm. It was smooth and "easy." :) 

This was right before she was born! 

And here she is! Such a beautiful baby girl!!

It was a little scary at the very end because the cord was wrapped around her neck. Luckily I was able to get her out quick enough so that everything was fine. 

7 pounds, 9 ounces and a whole lot of cuteness ;)

 

Brooky and her Nana.

Our first family picture with our new addition! Now our family is now complete!

Sweet big brother. 

All clean! 

We loved that we went home less than 24hours later. It was a short and sweet process...now the fun really begins! ;)

Catching up!!

Ah!! It's been forever since I've blogged! I thought this might happen after little #3 got here. :) Well I am going to try and quickly catch up! Here I am days away from having Brooklyn. Even though it was over a month ago, I still remember how uncomfortable I was! Ugh! So glad that is behind me now. I'm sure the constant complaining was no fun for my husband to listen to, so I think we were equally as happy when I gave birth :) 

Here is a few pics of my cutie pie before she became a big sister. 

She loves to dress up. ;)

Here she is making sure that baby Brooky's car seat and special blanket and all ready for her! Nana made this unbelievable blanket. Brooky is SO lucky!!

Last day at church before our addition. We spent sacrament in the RS room. Brighty is really that much of a handful! Ha!

38 weeks along and ready to be done!

Here I am 9 months pregnant with each of my girls. (Brighty was not supposed to be in the picture with me, she just decided to sneak in at the last minute.) 

 I SO wish I had the same type of picture when I was pregnant with Brandon. It is funny to see the difference in my belly size...I know the angle and my stance play a big role though.

I am excited to only have 10 days left. We cannot wait to see who this baby looks like. 

Next Friday come quick!!!

This picture was taken close to when I found out we were expecting, (hence the "stick"I'm holding) and the other one was taken today... at 38 weeks. I can't wait to add a third picture to this collage, one of me holding the baby. :)

Brandon turns 10!

To celebrate Brandon turning ten, Grammy rented a big water slide! The cousins had so much fun all day. The birthday boy wanted spaghetti and garlic bread, so we got yummy Spaghetti Eddies for the party. It was such a fun day!

On May 12th (his actual birthday) we celebrated at Nana's with the family.

Ice cream for breakfast, oh yeah!

He had a special request for pineapple cake. He even helped design it! So yummy!

This year, May 12 was also Mother's Day, so we had a great time celebrating all of us moms (especially Nana) and my big boy. 

 On Monday Brandon took this treat to share with his class. Its a "10" out of twix and chocolate dounts. 

It's crazy to me that I have a ten year old child. Where did the time go?! Sure do love my boy.
