Love or Lazy?

That doesn't look like the most comfortable of positions so maybe she's just in love with the dude from the Brandy version of Cinderella.  Or maybe she's just too lazy to get comfortable. -T

Looking at this makes my back sore

Mom's Turn

It was time to turn our attention from Brooklyn to Mom's birthday!  I think she had a great day - she at least acted like she did. -T

Morning presents with the girls - ALL the girls

Well this picture certainly didn't try and hide her age, did it?

Brooklyn's exhausted from all the fun

No daughter of mine will ever again eat AROUND the best part!

All About Brooklyn

In the following days after her birth, Brooklyn was a rock star in our house - everyone wanted to be with or be Brooklyn. -T

Ah boy

Maybe Anna didn't want to QUITE get all the way in

We worried about Anna the most when Brooklyn was born - so far so good

Lots of love for biggest sister

Anna reading Brooklyn books

Even when Brooklyn's not around, they find substitutes for her

Brooklyn Comes Home

After two nights at the hospital, Mom was more than ready to come home.  Brooklyn's sisters were more than ready to welcome them.  -T

The checkout part seems to always take so long!

Brooklyn...meet the sun

First outdoor experience - sunny and fa-reezing!

Mae couldn't wait to get her hands on her

Anna joins the welcome party

Sleeping right through the barrage - that's what we like to see!

If we would have asked one of them to be cute and one of them to be scary...they would have been doing exactly what we asked them to!

Preciousness

Yes, you both have noses

If only Brooklyn had smiled

C'mon Brook!

I think the blanket makes one look a lot taller than she really is

Mae just loves to be near Brooklyn

The Next Day

Come to find out, the day after she was born Brooklyn was still cute! =) 

February 26, 2014 - The Arrival

1:25 6cm said should be within hour and Lindsey very itchy from epidural
1:35 8cm
1:47 9cm
1:55 9cm just about complete
2:07 10 cm holding baby in
2:14 Brooklyn Faith Arrives

Things picked up...they picked up fast.  We had to wait for Dr. Yang to get done delivering another baby for a few minutes and in that few minutes, our nurse Dani, had to hold the baby in from just walking out on her own.  So Lindsey went from pushing twice with Mae, to one 1/2 of push with Anna, and no pushing with Brooklyn.  Where does she go from here?  Regardless, we were so thrilled to welcome Brooklyn Faith to our family. -T

February 26, 2014 - The Morning Of

The 5:45 report time came early.  Whew!  We preferred Anna's start time of 8:00 over the 6:00.  We appreciated Papa D spending the night at our house and making sure our girls were taken care of.  We also appreciated Grandma Weez taking over.  The morning was fast but slow.  By noon, it was hard to believe we had been there for 6 hours already but everything was moving so slow.  Anna came bolting out quickly - it took Lindsey's body a little extra long this time to register what we were going for here today.  -T

Let's fill that thing!

Always one of the best pregnant ladies ever on delivery day!

The lap taking didn't seem to do a whole lot

Nothing can break her spirit

Preventing sunny side up...and nice and comfortable after the epidural

And then the day turned to PM...
