1 month

Today Brooklyn is 4 weeks old. Gosh, I can not believe she is all ready a month old! I took a picture of her this morning to mark the day. I dug up a picture of Daniel around the same age.

Brooke

So I am back in business

After four long dreadful months I have my computer back. No more using everyone else's computer to stay in contact with everyone. So in other words, you will be hearing from me more often :). Here are some pictures of the kids. Friday Brooke will be a month all ready. Hard to believe!! She is an easy baby. She does the normal: eat, sleep and poop. She loves to be held and sleeps best with momma.

I can say that its finally nice to unload my camera!! The 400 just in the month I have had it and to empty my old busted camera too!! Now off to printing out recent pix. Nothing like a house full of update pix of BOTH your of kids...right?

Brooklyn Renae

On Friday January 29th, 2010, Brooklyn Renae Shade was born at 1:55pm weighing in at 5lbs 15ozs and 20.1 inches long. The surgery went great. Better then I anticipated. I stressed all week about it. My recovery went okay with Dan compared to this one. I don't know if was the size of the baby or the doctor that helped, maybe both?? Dr. Dowswell did an amazing job! I wish I would have had him for Daniel. I impressed the nurses and family with my recovery and me being up and doing stuff the next day.

We have success with breastfeeding and Daniel loves her. I can't keep him off of her. He is so proud of her. Here are a few of the pictures I took in the hospital. If I loaded every single one, I would be here all day! She is identical to Dan minus the melon (the size of her head), oh and 4lbs!!!! Oh and of course the pictures are backwards...I tend to forget.
