A little update

Brooklyn is one week old already!!! This week has gone by so fast and has been tons of fun! She is such a good baby and only cries if she is hungry! She had a little bit of jaundice when we left the hospital but after 2 days on the bili-blanket she is all better! Here are just a few pics from the last week.

Here's Our little Baby!!!

Here are just a few pics of our super cute baby girl!!! Brooklyn was born this morning at 11:25 and weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 12 oz and is 20 inches long!! She has dark hair that isnt extremely long but it's there!

This was right after she was born and all the nurses were busy cleaning her off. Im pretty sure she has gregs feet!
Brooklyn really didn't like her first bath, she cried a lot

Here she is all cleaned up with a itty bitty little mowhawk and bows in her hair

Greg and his little girl, we love her so much all ready!

For those of you interested here are all the details. I had to be induced wednesday night, and by 9 o'clock i was all hooked up and ready to go. I went in having contractions every 2-5 mins but they weren't very strong at all. By 3 a.m. i was dilated to a 3 and was in a little more pain, but it wasn't too bad. Around 5:30 I was in so much pain, my contractions were so strong and coming every couple of minutes, my nurse kept asking me what my pain level was on a scale of 0-10, I told her a 7 because i wasn't sure how much worse it would get. By 6 a.m i was in so much pain but my nurses were getting switched out so i never got to tell them how bad it was and never got the chance to get some pain meds in my I.V. Finally at about 7 a.m. the new nurse came in and asked me what my pain level was at..i told her it was really bad and making me sick, so she decided to check me and I was at a 5. The nurse asked me what i wanted to do about the pain and she said people normally get the epidural around a 4. Well after about a half hour, this amazing man came in and gave me an epidural and i was pain free, it is the most amazing creation ever, I dont know how anyone can go through labor without it! After the epidural at 7:30 i was dilated to a 6. Greg left for a few mins to go shower and eat and 15 mins later they checked me and i was Dilated to a 9! It was amazing! By 10 o'clock i was all rested up from no sleep the night before and started pushing. After almost an hour and a half our sweet baby girl made her entrance! It was such a great experience, greg was such a good support, and now we have a beautiful daughter!

Introducing.....

Me! Still pregnant! I thought I'd post a little update on the baby situation for everyone...seeing that I am due tomorrow! We had another Dr. appointment today, and according to him "this baby is in no hurry to get out!" For the past two weeks i am still only dilated to barely a 1 and am only 50% ephaced. Plus i have had zero contractions, pains, anything!...so basically she is never going to come, at least that is how i feel right now! We ended up scheduling a date to be induced, so next wednesday night we will check into thet hospital, and hopefully by thursday the baby will be here! It would be sooner, but that is the soonest the hospital has room for us...go figure being in baby-ville! So that is all that is new with us, we are just hoping she proves the doc wrong and comes on her own the next couple of days!

Brooklyn Kicking

Here is a video of Brookyln kicking the remote. She goes nuts inside my belly! It takes a few seconds to get going but watch as she kicks the remote up and after it falls off...you can see her foot popping up and then goes back down. We think shes going to be a kickboxer!

Ready for the baby-Finally

I think that we now have everything we need and are finally ready for the baby to come!! I love my stroller/carseat! After trying to get it in the store and it being out of stock and waiting forever for it to be shipped to us, we finally have it all put together and ready for our little girl! I really like it because it could work for both a boy or a girl! I'm sooo excited to be able to use it!

This is one of the decorations we hung in the baby's room. I think it's such a cute saying! The other cute thing about it, is that Greg saw it when he was on break at work and called me saying we should buy it. He is soooo excited for his little girl to be here, and I can't wait to see him with the baby! Brooklyn is definitely going to have her dad wrapped around her finger!

My cute hubby....

So I bet you all didnt know that i married a felon did you? Well at least that is what he looks like to me in this picture with his lack of hair!

Well Greg needed a haircut and he has been begging me for forever to buzz it all off for him, because he claims he gets too hot at work. I have always refused, but today i gave in. I almost cried while i was cutting it, but the tears were replaced by laughter..... so here are a few pics of my goofy hubby, he looks like a cute little boy now!

I did the front of his head last...and he really wanted to keep the flip up, but there was no way i was going to let him! haha. I still love him...but im praying it grows back before the baby comes...i really don't want Brooklyn to meet her dad with a buzzed head!
