Home at Last

We all finally made it home from the hospital yesterday afternoon, and boy is it nice. Bryn had to stay in the nursery the whole time we were there while they got her low blood sugar under control. She was also in the isolette for temperature regulation and under the lights for a little bit of jaundice. Like her sister she got through all that in no time by being feisty when she needed to. She is quite the little squeaker, making all sorts of squeaking noises throughout the night.

Our nurse let us sneak Bryn out of the nursery to my room so she could meet her big sister. Kaelyn's still not quite sure what to think about all this :)

Daddy and his girls.

First family picture. Nice, I'm the only one looking at the camera.

Awake and ready to play...I mean eat.

Jeana's Baby picture

What do you think? Does she look like her mom?

"This place is way nicer than the hospital"

Her coming home outfit, the Utah Beanie is a tradition.

Kaelyn has been so spoiled this week. She has got to spend every morning with Daddy all to herself and a few days with Grandma Amy. Yesterday Grandma even got her all dolled up and took some glamour shots.

Little Sister Has Arrived

Bryn Lois Bonner was born yesterday at 8:07 a.m. via scheduled C-section. Its a good thing because the little lady was breech, so even if I hadn't had a classical c-section with Kaelyn, and required a c-section from here on out, it is quite likely we would have needed to do one with her anyway. So once again all works out just the way it was suppose to :)

She came out at 5 lbs 14 oz, 19 inches long. My guess was that she would be 5 lbs 11 oz, 19 inches long and Wayne guessed 5 lbs 4 0z, 17 inches long...so I won on both accounts :)

Proud father of two!

I got to be the first one to hold her.

Kaelyn all decked out in her big sister outfit.

Look at all that hair. That really was a surprise. I kept picturing her with dark hair, but didn't think it would be possible.

Its like my little baby girl grew up overnight! Look how old she looks.

What a proud big sister!

This one's for you Dad

My dad, Kaelyn's Poppa Paul, keeps asking when we are going to do another post on Kaelyn's blog, so here you go dad. Only 3 more days till Kaelyn is officially a BIG sister. In order for this to happen we had to make her a new bedroom so she could pass the nursery down to her little sister. I LOVE how it turned out, its exactly what I wanted. Thanks to a great husband that's willing to take on the projects I was shoveling out to him, we got it done. He did a great job with the bead board and painting of the walls. I did the interior decorating and painting of the bead board. We got all her furniture at Ikea, bedding at Pottery Barn and accessories at Hobby Lobby and Target. I now ban myself from all of those stores ;)

My Aunt has a vinyl lettering machine and let me go to town on it. Thanks Becky! (I've always wanted to put this saying up in Kaelyn's room because of this talk by President Monson. I read it for the first time the week we were waiting to find out if Kaelyn had Down syndrome. Whenever Kaelyn is sick or in the hospital I just sing that song over in my head to remind myself that she is being watched over.

The old radio looking thing on the bookshelf is her snazzy humidifier.

Taking a nap in her new big girl bed. She loves the extra real estate to roll around on. We lay her at the top of the bed and by morning she is down at the bottom. Thats why its facing against the wall, otherwise she would roll out every night.

The nursery is all ready for Bryn to move in!

On Sunday Kaelyn looked so cute I wanted to get some pictures of her, but she had a different plan. I spent an hour trying to upload the video of what she was doing, but its not working :(
