I just love this girl! :)

Grandma Davis gave Brielle a fun play mat for an early Christmas present! She loves it!

Isn't she so cute!? we love her!!

and yet another facial expression that I can't stop laughing at! She likes to yell at me... Sassy little baby!

This one is pretty good too! haha...

.... and this one!

She's getting more used to being on her tummy.. but she still hates it.

She has such a big noggin... but I think she is so cute! I love her eyes in this one!

Anyways... that is all I really have for the moment! We are doing good and we are looking forward to the holidays! 

Loads of pictures!

So yes, I have become one of those people who once they have a baby will only blog about the baby. So sue me :) I have nothing else going on in my life at the moment so I have decided to post lots of pictures that I have on my computer! I probably take a thousand a day. As I was looking at all the pictures I have taken over the past 2 months I started finding out that Brielle has a lot of facial expressions and as I kept going I just giggled and giggled. She is so funny... or maybe she thinks I am crazy so she looks at me weird haha...  So I hope you enjoy her many facial expressions as much as I do! 

This is the "what the heck mom?" look (I get it frequently)

This was when she was little tiny and she was just learning how to smile!

 

This is a "you are a dork mom what the heck do you want!" look haha

 This is one of my FAVORITE pictures I have taken of her haha it makes me laugh every time I look at it! She is so chunky and her little smirks are so cute!

This one also makes me giggle! That lip!! So sad but so cute at the same time!

She really hates that hat... every time I put it on her this is what she does... I have to be sneaky with hats. I have to put it on her when she is asleep or I get this...

HAHAHA how can you not laugh when you see this picture!? It is my favorite "You are a freak" look haha I am so glad I got this! I might frame it and show her when she is older how sassy she was from the beginning!!

She really LOVES bath time! She splashes the crap out of that tub!

And this is my absolute favorite to leave you with! I just love her!

One of these days I might have something to say about me or Ray but right now we are both pretty boring! He works and I stay home with the chunky butt!

If you need a good laugh...(#4 is my favorite lol)

I found this on a scrapbooking forum somewhere.. and I couldn't stop laughing! So I thought I would share!

Oh how I LOVE to watch Brielle sleep! It makes me laugh! Ever since we brought her home from the hospital she has hated to be tightly swaddled.  She has to have her arms out of the blanket and there as to be enough room for her legs to extend (or she will kick and kick until they are free!).  She defiantly likes to SPRAWL!! It is so funny! She isn't like this every time she is asleep but it happens more often than not for sure! :) Here are a couple pictures! :)

This is what she looks like most of the time.

She also smiles A LOT when she sleeps. It is so funny.

In the mornings after Ray goes to work the chunky butt gets to sleep in bed with me.  I know it is a terrible habit and I am sure I will pay for it one day. But this is what I get to wake up to in the mornings!

Thank heavens for this bouncy chair! We put her in it when she naps during the day (another bad habit that I will most likely pay for later as well..). Se can sprawl pretty good in this chair lol

When she is startled by loud noises or movements this is what she looks like! She throws her hands up! This is by far the funniest thing she does! 

After being startled... Love what her hands are doing haha

What up!?! haha I frequently find her like this when she is in her crib. I just love her chunky guts and livers! She is so cute and we are constantly kissing her chunky cheeks! She can be super cranky but she already has a cute little personality and we are excited to see how she turns out as she grows up! She defiantly keeps us on our toes and keeps life interesting!

Brielle's Pictures

We had Brielle's "newborn" pictures taken! Needless to say she is a little bit bigger than your average newborn and is A LOT more awake and aware... so we had a hard time getting her to cooperate! But I think the shots we got were super cute! The ones one the purple couch are my favorite! :)

anyways.. enjoy, or not! The choice is yours!

Our little addition!

So the last time I posted I was still prego and annoyed.  This post is far more exciting! :) As most of you know we had our beautiful little baby girl last weekend on Saturday, September 3rd.  We weren't expecting it to be that weekend but it happened non the less! I had a doctors appointment on Friday where I had a non-stress test to monitor the baby's heart beat, my contractions, and fetal movement. I had had one the Monday before so I wasn't expecting anything to be different.  However, half way through the test there wasn't much movement from the baby so they sent me to the cardiology department to have an extensive ultrasound.  In the ultrasound they were looking for normal baby movements (breathing, heart beating, wiggling fingers, etc.) and they found all that but they couldn't find very much movement. So my doctor decided that he didn't want to leave the baby in an unfavorable environment and sent me straight to labor and delivery.  That was a shock for me... I had plans to go to Swiss Days and to my nephews birthday party! Instead they hooked me up to an IV and all sorts of monitors and stuff. Then they gave me some meds that would make me start contracting so I would start dilating so eventually they could give me pitosin.  Well the contractions happened but unfortunately after 8 hours of being uncomfortable and tired I hadn't progressed AT ALL! I was still only dilated to "almost a one".  And unfortunately my contractions were too close together and too strong to even think about giving me the pitosin and my contractions were causing fetal distress.  So around midnight the decision was made that a c-section would be the safest route to take.

I was then taken to the operating room and given a spinal block (they are so weird... no pain but I could still feel a lot! weird!).  After I was all prepped and ready to go they started the c-section.  I was pretty scared to tell you the truth... it was pretty nerve racking. As soon as the doctors delivered her head the first thing they said was "Whoa... that is a big head!" and then they delivered the rest of her and I could feel a huge weight just lift away! (literally!) They cleaned her up and weighed her and everyone was so suprised at how big she was! She weighted 9 lbs. 8 oz. and was 20 inches long. I was shocked! At my ultrasound I had to have the Monday before they told me she was approximately 7 lbs. 12 oz. so you can imagine my shock when she turned out to be almost 10 pounds!! No wonder my belly was HUGE!! But it was all so worth it! She is beautiful! She has the cutest round face with the CHUNKIEST cheeks and has red hair.  She seems to always look ornery and we just love her!  We stayed in the hospital until Tuesday and then got to bring her home with us.  It has been a long and tiring week but we love our little Brielle and we couldn't be happier! :)  Here are some pictures to enjoy!!

Getting cleaned up and ready to go!!

This is Brielle getting weighted.... yep. Chunky already. She didn't even fit into the newborn diapers. She went straight to the size 1 diapers! haha

I love this picture because it shows her cute red hair! I just love it! I hope it stays red and gets curly! 

This is an awful picture... this was as they were wheeling me out of the operating room and into the recovery room and they let me hold her for the first time! 

Daddy! :) (notice the hat they put her in.. yeah it doest fit her big head!)

And here are her super chunky cheeks! they make me laugh! when we burp her they just jiggle and droop down! 

She wasn't too happy to have clothes on. They were a little snug on her but thanks to aunt Saryn she had a super cute outfit to go home in!!

My favorite picture. Ray is so cute with Brielle! He is going to be a great dad and he has been a huge help and support this whole time and it makes me love him more and more every single day!

This is right after we got discharged and were about ready to leave our room to go home.  I love this picture! although unfortunately it is the only one of all 3 of us in the hospital but I still love it! We are all sleep deprived (except Brielle... all she does is sleep lol) but lovin life!

And I saved the best picture for last!! I caught her in a smile in her sleep! It was most likely gas but I love it! I love her cheeks and I can't stop squishing and kissing them! There will be more pictures I am sure but right now I should probably go get some sleep while I can! 

as always... Enjoy! I know we sure are!
