My world

Enough said!! 
Yes - I am still in heaven (sleep deprived heaven -
but still... :) )
My hubby and my baby... is there anything I don't
have??  A caring husband - beautiful baby (of
course I'm biased!!) - does it get any better??

First outing today - must me and Brynleigh.  WOW!  Not gonna lie and say there wasn't a hint of anxiety!!  Small errands - do I really have to get out of the car with her by myself... she's not even 2 weeks old... is this safe???  Luckily we only had to go go the dry cleaning (nope, went through the drive up - although I did get out and run around the truck just to make sure she was okay) - note to self, must invest in a mirror so I can see her from the drivers seat!!
After dry cleaning - on to the bank.... yep, you guessed it... I actually had to get out of the car... yikes!!  Thank goodness there were no lines and I got in and out in a flash!!!  All would be proud!!  (since I'm by the bank might as well pick up an Asai bowl :) )... then it was off to get the truck inspected - yep, o ut of the car again... then it was rush, rush home for feeding...
all in all we had a very productive day!!!!

Thought... really, that many diapers a day???  I mean c'mon...
as soon as I change a wet one - here come's a dirty one...
As Dray says... what college fund, it went all to diapers :)

Until next time... xoxoxo

Random thought...

I don't think I've ever felt this way - looking at Brnleigh makes my heart smile... My life complete - when I look at Dray I see my whole world... The love of my life - people tell you there's a feeling you'll get the first time you see your little one - easy to say but hard to relate... Until it happens to you - I feel truly blessed - a wonderful husband who I adore and who I appreciate each and every day... And a daughter... Our precious little gift that makes Dray and I melt every hour of every day!!!

Long awaited...

Whew!!! What a difference a week makes!!! Sorry for not writing sooner but as you can probably imagine - been a little busy and sleep deprived!!! Let's recap:
6/16/11 - went to the hospital to get monitored around 4:30. Everything looked great but they wanted to do an ultra sound just to make sure. During the US we were told she's already 9lbs... Yes, you can imagine my reaction!!! WOW - can I do this??? Suppose it's a bit too late to turn back now - besides, haven't women been doing this for 100's of years!!!
We got home around 7:30- had dinner - wasn't really feeling well but just thought that was normal - we decided to go to bed around 9:45 - yes, had to use the restroom before turning in... That's when the fun started! Water broke and it was off to the hospital at 10!!

Arrived - of course, still leaking - and got checked in. "this is it" I kept telling myself - can I get through this??? Of course I can cause I have the most amazing husband by my side!!! @ 11 I was only 1 cm... 2am got my epideral... Around 3:30 or so they gave me pitocin and I was about 2.5 cm... 4am I was 4cm ... 5 am I was 9 cm... By the time my doc got there around 6am I was 10 cm+ ( didn't know you could but apparently you can!) next words out her mouth were ' you ready to push...'

Brynleigh Renn Wilson born 6/17/11 6:50 am 6lbs 14 oz 20 in long!!!

6/19/11 - happy father's day!!!! We brought Brynleigh home!!! Grandparents and Aunt Mandy were still here... Mom, my wonderful mom, stayed the week with us - I can't imagine what would've happened if she wouldn't have been here - definitely my saving grace!!!

6/24/11 - mom goes home. NO!!!! Guess I knew she'd have to go home sometime!!!
First night alone - not gonna lie, a bit rough!! I think it was only because we needed to rearrange the schedule some due to Dray going back to work on Monday.

Now today... Up at 6am - feeding - went for our first walk at 7am - ate breakfast, took shower, fed again, had wake time for a bit and now it's sleep time and I decided to do a quick update ( is this quick - I mean typing in this iPad doesn't seem so fast!!! )

There ya have it - like I said... Been a busy/sleep deprived week!!!

What's up next... I promise to post pics (either I can't figure out how to do it from the iPad or it's just something that can't be done ) ... Aunt Lori & Uncle Frank will be here over July 4th, Uncle Chad may come too ... Expect mom & dad to come again after that as well as Aunt Mandy and we have Aunt Alicia coming to visit the weekend of July 22nd ... Our calendar is booking up and we love it!

Till next time...

Update

Haven't updated in a while - either been tired or busy and not real sure if anyone even reads this stuf but I will say it does feel good to write again!
What's happened since last post... A lot! We're inducing on July 1'st... Was in the hospital last week with contractions - they tried to stop 'em and finally were successful after a pain pill and a sleeping pill! Now it's just wait time!
This past weekend was spent 'nesting'... Or so I'm told by my friends today. Dray and I spent all day Saturday getting all the last minute must-haves and went to see The Hangover II (ok, some funny parts but pretty much just like the first) and were gone for 9 hours - I did well except for my feet - WOW - talk about tree stumps!!! Then Sunday I cleaned all the stuff, emptied cabinets in the kitchen to make room for all the baby stuff, rearranged all the cabinets while moving things around... I thought I did a lot but looking around today it seems I've got a lot more to do!!!
That's about it ... Just playing the waiting game and wondering when she'll be here!!! Will update again soon with nursery pics and maybe even a belly pic or two!
