Briele's 1st sleepover

Briele had her 1st sleepover with her cute cousin Charly.  They were both in bed by 10:30 which was an improvement from the night before when I wasn't able to get just Briele in bed until almost midnight!  The next day we went to lunch at Maddox & went to visit Charly's cute sister Jordyn in the hospital.  It was lots of fun & we can't wait til next time when hopefully Jordyn can join us.

Nursery

This is the nursery I have been saying I would post forever.  I am getting pictures printed for above the crib & have added some pillows that my mother-in-law made out of the extra fabric from the curtains. I have also put a few more decorations on the shelf.  The crib we bought but everything else has come from someone special in her life.  The rocking chair was given to my mom by my dad when I was born, the dresser given to me by my grandparents on the Winn side.  Kip's grandpa made the shelf, the baby shoes hanging from it were Briele's great grandma Catherine's whom she got her middle name from.  The necklace was a great great grandma's & the lamb was Kip's when he was little.  The bow holder I made & it was filled beyond capacity by her cute aunts!!  Oh & don't forget the cute puppy who was there every step of the way while getting this room ready for Briele & had the caulk in his tail to prove just how much he "helped."

Out with the old, in with the new

I blame it on the hormonal imbalance I was experiencing after having a baby but I finally caved & let Kip put our truck up for sale.  Honestly I never really thought it would sell, & for what we wanted to get out of it.  Needless to say after 3 hours on ksl it had sold!! The hormones once again took over & the tears came, I was a little emotionally attached to that truck to say the least. Anyone that knows Kip knows that once he is on a mission he does not stop til its finished. 

He found this beauty of a truck which we are now the proud owners of. We will see what he thinks he needs next!!!

newborn pictures

I am in LOVE with this girl!!  She was actually really good for the most part while we got these pictures.  There were a few *incidents* per say.  She peed on a few things,  & pooped on a few things including in my hand!!  She is SO beautiful & I am so thankful that we were able to capture that in these photos.  They were taken by the talented Jacey Jordan of Jacey Jordan Photography. If you are wanting to get pictures done check her out.  She is super talented, super sweet & very reasonably priced!!  Thanks again Jacey!  I think I may wallpaper my house with pictures of my sweet babe!! 

1 month

I can't believe that my baby girl is already a month old!! Being a mom is the most fun & exhausting thing ever!!  Briele has gotten so big over the last month.  Its quite the fight getting her to go to bed at night but once she goes to sleep she will sleep for about 6 hours before waking up to eat.  She has us wrapped around her finger already.  We love you Briele & are so excited to watch you grow & learn.

Briele Kate Heath

Briele Kate Heath made her grand entrance into this world on December 2, 2010 @ 1:57 pm weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz & 18 in long.  She has lots of dark brown hair and the most beautiful blue eyes.  We could not be more in love with this precious gift of ours!!

Here we are already to go back & have a baby.  I was pretty sad that they don't let you take pictures back in the c-section OR, so we had to snag a few before we went back.

Jax is crazy over her already and is adjusting better than I thought he would.

Dad already has a new game day buddy!!

37 weeks

We had our 37 week appt yesterday with our new dr.  I got a call on tuesday telling me that my dr had broken his leg and that he would be out of the office for the next 4-6 weeks!!  Not what I was wanting to hear with 3 weeks til my due date & the fact that we had a plan that involved being started on Dec 3 if she had not yet made her debut!!  Needless to say the hormones are taking more control lately & the poor front desk ladies in the office had to listen to me blubber about how this is not in the plan!!  So we met new dr yesterday, found out no progress to preparing for birth at this point and that she is weighing in at a whopping 8 lbs!!! I about died, I may actually being giving birth to a 3 month old!!!  He was non-committal to starting me on the 3rd which has increased my anxiety, I liked having the plan!!  We will see how much she is weighing in at next week, being that he does agree that I will probably have a larger than average baby that may be larger than my body can handle, then hopefully he will come around to my way of thinking a bit more and we can agree on a plan!!  Until then I need to start operation evict baby from my body as soon as Thanksgiving is over!!
