Two Months Old!

So yes...my baby Breklyn is two months old today! It really truly is sad how fast life passes by us. We are always so busy with so many different things in life....its really hard to take some extra time to just be a family and not worry about the other things.
Seriously it feels like i was just in the hospital having Breklyn. These past two months have gone by so fast...i just cant get over it!
Well Brek just sleeps all day still...and all night. Yes i am not lying...she sleeps from 10p.m. until 4 or 5 a.m. Today it was 6 a.m. Brad just keeps telling me how spoiled i am. But i agree...i got spoiled with a really good baby girl. Brek has started smiling more and making really cute noises. She is so fun and so cute! We are so blessed to have her in our family.
I love you Baby Brek!

Christmas...Brek and Hallie!

So cute!!
Wide awake
So stinking cute...and yes she has panties on!


So here is the low down......Brek has RSV! Hallie is still her little stinker self with and attitude and we had an amazing Christmas!
Yeah i know...RSV...sucky stuff. Atleast it has not settled to much in her lungs so she is home with us and not in the hospital. Ever since she was born she has always been really stuffy, which Dr. C says that most babies are until about 3 months. So i took her to the dr today to get her all checked out and he said that she has a secondary infection in her nose and sinus and so he put he on some antibiotics. He told me to keep a good eye on her and if i think its getting worse to take her back in. OH and guess what...they weighed her and fully clothed she weighed
9lbs 2 oz!! Wow my baby is growing. I just look at her and she still is so little, but some moms give birth to babies this size! AHHH....does not sound fun to me!!! Ouch!
Oh...next with Hallie. She is repeating everything i say to her. So for instance...when we had our really bad week after brek was born..i would get after her and i would say...Hallie dont do that, do you hear me?! So about a week ago...hallie and i were in the shower and i was washing her hair and was dumping a cup of water on her head. Well she turned around and gave me this really dirty look and said... Mom dont do that...do you hear me?! I thought i was going to die. I cant believe she said that to me! So since then...everything i say..she is repeating me! Time to watch my mouth i think!
So our Christmas was so good. We didnt do anything huge...we just spent tons of time with family! There is nothing better then being with family during the holidays. We got very spoiled and it was so fun to watch Hallie be so excited that santa came and brought her toys. But now when she sees anyone with a beard she thinks its santa! I think next year will be fun with Hallie and Brek being one!
I just love my little girls so much...there is not a greater blessing in life then being able to be blessed to have children. I am so grateful to beable to have my own children and have a family of my own. I dont think i would trade the way my life is for anything in this whole world.
I also am so grateful for such a wonderful husband i have. He is seriously so amazing. He is such a hard worker and will do anything for us. He puts up with so much and always has a smile on his face and is always making sure that i am happy and letting me know how much he loves me!

Breklyn's Blessing


Yesterday was Breklyn's Special day. She was surrounded by some very special people and her daddy gave her an amazing blessing. We were very blessed to have so many family and friends join us. We are so very blessed to be the parents of such a special little girl! She is the sweetest little thing in the whole world. I seriously could just snuggle her all day and it wouldnt bother me one bit! We are so blessed to have 2 sweet very healthy little girls to call our own. I dont know where we would be with out them. They are my whole world and i would do anything for them.
After the blessing we all got together and had a luncheon. It was so fun to catch up with some family and friends what we have not seen in a while.
Oh and Breklyn's blessing dress, was actually my dress that i wore when i was blessed. Hallie wore it to be blessed in also. It is such a pretty dress, i looks antique because its kinda going yellow, but it has so much meaning i dont mind. She looked so beautiful in it!
I love you little Brek!

Lots of PICTURES!












SO... i am a little bit late at getting this thing updated...so here is the newest but oldest news on Baby Brek. I took her to her two week check up which was over a week ago and she was only back at her birth weight of 5 lbs 13 oz. She is in the 1 percentile of everything. Dr. C said that she is looking really good and growing good for being 3 weeks early. He was suprised at how developed her lungs were for being so early and that she never crys. Yes i know i have a little tiny thing that i have to make cry. Trust me when she does, its pathetic. Dont get me wrong i am not complaining at all after what i went through with her sister...but it seriously is so cute. Oh and the cutest faces she makes when she is mad. She puts on a good show!
Everything is going really good. Nothing really new. I am loving the homemaker life! We are getting things put together us three girls that are home all day. We are finally getting somewhat of a daily routine down. YaY!
I do have to put a shout out to my wonderful and amazing hubby! He is so so so good to us and he is such a hardworker and will do anything for his girl! We seriously love him so much and are so grateful for everything little thing he does for us. We seem to always look over the little thing and i am so thankful to have him in our lives! He keeps me positive and always working to try and be the best mom and wife that i can possibly be! I love you Brad!

Update and pictures

Sleepy baby Breklyn
Oh i love her
Blue eyes open
Sweetest face
hiding from hal's kisses
Billi lights and sunshine
Billi lights
Billi lights
On our way home from the hospital

So everything is going good in our home! We have an extremely good baby that enjoys her sleep! When we brought her home she was sleeping up to 6 and 7 hours until waking up to eat. So i talked to the dr and he said that i have to start waking her up every 3 hours so she will grow because she is so tiny. Trust me Hallie never slept, so this is so new to me! During the day i wake up about every 3 to 4 hours for a feeding and at night i am up 1 maybe 2 times with her. She is such a sweet heart i just cant get enough of her.
She had to be under the billi lights for 2 days. When we left the hospital her jaundice was at a 9 and the next day it was at a 16.4. Ouch! Being told that your baby has to be under the lights and having the baby blues.....not the excitement i look forward to everyday! But we are past those days....thank goodness.
I take Breklyn in on monday for her 2 week check up.............i know she is almost 2 weeks old! Time goes by so fast! So i will post again then and give the update from the dr.
Hope you enjoy the pictures....but trust me she is much cuter in person!
