Brooke Olivia has joined our family. She was due on the 16th, and I really didn't want her to come on Friday the 13th :) Well, on Friday the 13th at 2:50 I woke up to some contractions. After the 2nd one, which was about 6 minutes apart I told Jeff he wasn't going to work today. We timed them for about an hour and they were anywhere from 4-8 minutes. I finally decided to get up at 4 and shower. Well, I stood up and they started coming every 2 minutes. So my wonderful sister in law came over around 4 to stay with the kids. Thanks again!
We got checked in and into the room at the hospital at 4:55, and I was a 7. Brooke was born at 6:09 am, so another quick birth. She was 7 lbs 3.8 oz and was 20 inches long. I guess my kids are all going to be about the same :) The first night was rough. Jeff and I got about an hour of sleep each. The 2nd night the nurses took her and we got 4 hours of wonderful sleep. We are very excited to have her in our family.
Brooke is great at finding her thumb...hope she is not a thumb sucker!
The kids were very excited and came to see her later in the day. Dallin was very excited to see her and wanted to hold her immediately. He held her several times.
Alyssa was content to just look at her. She finally said she wanted to hold her. I attempted to put Brooke on her lap and she decided quickly she did not.
We came home today, and Dallin immediately wanted to hold her again. Alyssa not so much. I am very glad to be home.

How fun! She is adorable .... and like I already told you I LOVE LOVE LOVE her name. So cute! How fun that Dallin is a proud big brother, and I'm sure Alyssa will warm up to it. In a few years she'll be ecstatic to have a best friend little sister to follow her around.
try and get some rest and relaxation!
Love the pictures. She's beautiful!
I think that 2nd pic of Alyssa is my favorite. "Take it away, take it away!" Lol. She's a gorgeous baby!
Congrats Steph! I'm so excited for you guys!!! We are expecting #3 in September :) We are pretty excited. Just 4 more weeks and we will find out what it will be!
