The Birth of Bryn

Bryn is finally here! She is actually a week old today. Last Wednesday, Leap Day, she made her arrival. I was due on March 1st, so she was 1 day early. The birth of Taylor and the birth of Bryn were completely different experiences. I thought I knew how it would go this time and boy was I wrong. I woke up Wednesday morning and my water broke, but I wasn't sure that's what it was. I called labor and delivery and they said I better come in and make sure. So, that's what we did. We arrived at the hospital around 8:45 in the morning and Baby Bryn arrived at 3:14. It was pretty quick and painless. Lucky for me, I was contracting when I got there, but didn't feel it yet. They told me they had to give me a little pitocin to augment my labor since my water had already broke. They told me I could have the epidural any time I wanted. So, as soon as the contractions were 2 minutes apart and I was really afraid of the pain getting bad, I got the epidural.

Here we are once we realized it was baby day for sure.

Jimmy letting people know. 

It all happened so fast! They had told me they thought maybe by dinner time I would deliver, but she was quick.

So much love.

A very proud big sister. She couldn't wait any longer for the baby to get here!

Bryn is a very content, calm baby. She sleeps all the time and is so sweet. I find myself holding her and staring at her every day. I guess I know how quickly this stage goes and I really want to take it all in.  

When You Wish Upon a Star...

Taylor will be performing in her very first dance recital next week. We had picture day and dress rehearsal. The song they are dancing to is "When You Wish Upon a Star." It's going to be so cute.

                   These are some of her classmates. They all looked so cute in their costumes!

One More Baby!!

We are expecting another little love!

It's been really hard to hold off making this announcement, but finally the Dr. confirmed! We saw the heartbeat and the little tiny bean in there. I have Kaiser and they will not let you go to the Dr. until after 8 weeks and the first available appt was at about 9 1/2 weeks. It's so hard to hold back that long! The baby is due March 1st, so Taylor and the baby will be about a month shy of four years apart. I had always planned on something like that :) I have spent pretty much all of July not feeling like myself. I will be glad to feel good again...hopefully in the near future. 

We are heading out to San Diego for a little vacation tomorrow, so I'm hoping that helps :)

Tiffany and Wylie...and a flowergirl

My cousin got married and Taylor was the flower girl. She was such a beautiful bride and the wedding was beautiful.

Taylor thought she was a real princess that day :)

American Girl

We got invited to go for Taylor's friend Sammy's birthday. It is such a cute place! We had lunch in the restaurant where the dolls sat with us and then we shopped.

She fell in love with the Bitty Baby. I showed her the other dolls and she wasn't too interested. She loves taking care of babies right now.

Her baby had a few names the first day, but she finally stuck with "Baby Chloe." That's the name of my friends little girl :)

She can finally pedal...

It was Mother's Day when Taylor got on her cousin Emma's bike and rode it. She had been trying since Christmas and it just clicked. Now she is all over the neighborhood riding her bike.

Her Rapunzel bike came with a mirror and comb, so every so often, she jumps off of her bike and freshens up :)
