Meet Brooklyn

(I don't know how to turn the flash off of my camera so all the pics I have she is making faces :))

Born March 15th 2010 at 11:19 pm, 7Lbs 11ounces, 20 inches.... She is perfect.

So as most of you know she was almost two weeks late. So Sunday we went to the hospital at 7 pm and then they incuced me around 9pm. At 5pm Saturday I was dialted to a 9 and the doctors said I would probably be dilated to a ten within the next hour or two. Well 5 1/2 hours passed and I was still dilated to a 9. So the doctors decided my body was to small to deliver this baby vaginally and that I needed to have a C Section. So we headed up to the OR and at 11:19 Brooklyn was born. She is already such a blessing in our lives. There were some scary points during the day where her heart wasn't doing well, and we thought we lost her, but she was a fighter and I am so glad. I don't know what we would do without her. It's amazing how much love you can have for this one little person.


Well from the second they handed her to Mark, she has been completely attached to him. Can we say major DADDY'S GIRL! She will be screaming at the top of her lungs, to the point where I have no clue what to do for her or what she wants, then Mark will come over and pick her up and she calms right down. She is actually a very alert baby. She is so curious about her surroundings, and loves looking at everything. She also smiles ALL the time. Whoever said newborns can't smile was definitely wrong. She really is such a perfect baby and we love her so much.

We are still at the hospital, so I will post more pictures when we get home.

Thank you all for your love and support! It means so much to us.
