Well this week has lets say been tiring. Brooklyn has decided she doesn't want to sleep in her crib, she would much rather be in her car seat or in your arms. So to say the least that has been the project this week..... to get her in her crib. Brooklyn is only two weeks old but she definitely has a mind of her own. She is a night owl and we are not getting a ton of sleep. But when she smiles at you in the middle of the night..... when your thinking I just can't do this.... it makes it all worth it. She is awake for about one hour after every feeding so it is fun to play with her instead of just staring at her. Yesterday was her two week check-up and she got her heel pricked for her PKU test, and she let the doctor know that she did not like it. She now weighs 7.3 lbs and is 19.7 inches long, so she is gaining weight and getting chubby, which makes us very happy. BJ and I are stilling comming to the realization that we are parents.... we still saying "wow can you believe that she is ours, and that we are parents". I don't think we will ever get use to that title. But we are so glad to have her in our lives.

She's beautiful Ronda and I'm glad that she is well and healthy. Charlotte had high billiruben levels so she had to stay another 24 hours in the hospital while we were discharged. It was very difficult, but we basically camped out at the hospital to be near her.
We are still very much in awe of our little girl and haven't really accepted the fact that we are parents too. I can't believe that we have a daughter now - but love too.
Hey Ronda! She is a cutie. I think you'll be 90 and you still won't be used to being a parent. I guess it's one of those things.
Parenthood is amazing, even after four years it still blows my mind that we have kids. Keep up the good work!
