So many things to be thankful for!

Aw so Peaceful, thanks Marin for loaning us Garrett's bouncer she seems to like it!

Mom has one REALLY sore breast so this is the temp way to feed, pump the bad one and feed it to her through the tube while she is feeding from the good one, breastfeeding is so much fun!

Our Little Turkey! Thanks Claudia for the cute outfit we got it when we got home from the hospital

The day we brought her home from the hospital, our sleeping beauty

Now that Danny is back at work I guess it is my turn to update the blog, although I think he does a better job. The command station he had going on at the hospital with the labtop and the phones was quite the opertation, even the doctor was impressed. I have a short window before Brooklyn wakes up to post. I have some new pictures, but won't have time to put those up tonight perhaps tommorrow.

This past Thanksgiving was really nice, mom made her famous homemade rolls so yummy! Danny and I stayed home while my parents went to dinner at Richards. Ricky brought over some yummy dinner and we enjoyed just being a new family together. Danny and I were telling each other things we were thankful for and both ended up in tears looking at out new daughter, thinking we have cried more in the past two days than she has!

The whole motherhood thing is crazy the birthing alone, wow no ones tells you about that, now I know why! It is hard to believe I am a mom. All though I have been a bit emotional lately, pretty much do to lack of sleep and difficulty breastfeeding, I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a mom and have a family. When I look at her it somehow makes it all worth it.

This holiday season is a special one it has helped me to think of the many great things I have and to be so grateful for them. Danny is amazing, if I did not have his support I could not have done this without him. I am very fortunate to have him at home working and that he cares so much about how to take care of me and Brooklyn. He is with me every step of the way, sometimes a few steps ahead. Our families and friends have been great checking up on us to see how things are and what they can do to help. Thank you everyone for all your love and support, it had been greatly appreciated. We are very fortunate to be loved by so many people and now Brooklyn gets to be a part of that, couldn't ask for anything better.
