Comfortable

Amazing what a 3 day old considers a comfortable position to sleep in! :-)

Sisters Photos

We've attempted to get some good photos of the 3 girls together.  Some attempts have been more successful than others, but here are a few that have turned out...


"Cheese!" :-)


Love these shirts my dear friends gave me while we were in Chicago...Addysen with "big sister," Haven with "middle sister" and Brielle with "little sister."  I was so excited that the shirts fit all the girls so of course we had to get some pics of the 3 of them in them!

Sisters First Week Together

I was really uncertain as to how the girls would do when we brought Brielle home with us.  Though I knew they were excited about having the baby here, I wasn't sure how it would be when reality hit...and that the baby took up a lot of Mommy's time!  I was especially concerned about Haven who had been pretty Mommy clingy before Brielle was born.


As it turns out, there was really nothing to worry about!  Both girls have been so happy to have Brielle home and are constantly loving on and kissing on Brielle...it's so sweet.


Maybe they're a little too loving...ha!


One night a couple days after we got home, Addysen was praying before bedtime and during her prayer said "Thank you for the new baby that is at our house. Thank you so much for the special, special baby that’s called Brielle."


Haven loves to hold Brielle and often says "I love Bee-el" soooo much!"  She will get herself all set up on the couch with a pillow in her lap and then say "I hold it!"  Ha!  Brielle was an "it" to Haven until the last few days...so funny.


Yep...she has all her fingers!


Lots of kisses from Haven...and then she says "I love my baby!"




 

Both Haven and Addysen are always going up to Brielle saying in this high pitched voice, "It's ok, baby. It's ok." and then Haven now says "I right here baby." :-)


Addysen loves to lay next to Brielle on the floor...and Brielle eats it up when she does this, just staring at her the whole time!



Addysen is so gentle with Brielle...and acts like a little Mommy with her

 

My 3 girls!


Haven of course wanting a little more love...ha!


Addysen thinks its so funny when Brielle holds her finger...she just giggles and giggles.


I told Addysen how babies this little like to look at things that are contrasting colors...like black and white.  So she got a piece of white paper, scribbled some black on it and showed it to Brielle. :-)

First Week

LOVE this sweet girl!


 
 

Haven has wanted to get in every baby thing we have for Brielle. :-)  Unbelievable how big she looks now that we have a newborn again!  Wasn't she just a newborn???



Grampa and Gramma pretty much entertained and took care of the big girls the week we came home so I could focus on taking care of Brielle and healing up myself!  So thankful the girls felt so much love despite my not feeling like myself!


And Grampa and Gramma have been getting in lots of snuggle time with Brielle as well!

 

Addysen came home from a visit to the park one day with a bunch of flowers for Mommy...so sweet.
