I have been wanting to sit down and write down some thoughts I've had. Feel free to just skip to the pictures if you prefer not to read my ramblings:)
Today Brooklyn is two weeks old. It truly feels like she has been a part of our family for longer than that. I am so grateful for the past two weeks. It has been more wonderful then I ever dreamed it could be. During my pregnancy I often stressed and worried about what it would be like to have a newborn again. My last experience with a newborn was Kyson and lets be honest...it was HARD. There was so much stress and anxiety involved and thoughts of "what if I have to do that again?" would creep into my mind. I also was concerned that I would worry about every little thing that Brooklyn did...every grunt, every cry, every everything...and I would not be able to enjoy her. Well, the complete opposite has happened. She has brought so much joy into my life and I have enjoyed her so much. Despite everything being so difficult with Kyson, he has taught me so much about life and living in the moment. That is what I have tried to do with Brooklyn. Although waking up every two hours all night long isn't my favorite thing to do, I have been able to enjoy that time with my sweet baby. This stage just doesn't last very long and I'm not going to wish away a second of it! Although she is only two weeks old, she is already changing. She eats constantly and I can see her already filling out. In a way it makes me sad because the newborn stage is going to be gone so fast but I am also excited to see her grow and see her personality develop.
Here are some pictures I've taken over the past two weeks.
Three days old. In Daddy's arms...
One week old...wearing the beanie Aunt Allison made her. Love it!
A little glimpse of her smile.
Thirteen days old...snuggling with "Yellow." This bunny was given to Kyson by his Uncle Reed and Aunt Melissa when he was in the hospital last Easter and he named it Yellow.
Can you believe I'm a mother of three? I have certainly been blessed!

Well Andrea, you know how I am with blogs. I am the worst at keeping up with them, so it is no wonder that your sweet little baby is two weeks old and I didn't even know you had had a baby! :) What an adorable, perfect little girl you have! I am so happy for you! I am so glad that you are all doing well and enjoying this wonderful time of life. I can't wait to see more cute pictures!
