Brynn Alexis

I had all intentions of writing this yesterday, but the day got away from me. This post is not about exercise, losing weight, or anything like that. This is about my little Brynn. She turned 1 year old yesterday and I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. I believe sometimes how a child enters the world can effect how they are in life. I guess my best examples are my own kids so I don't have too much of a reference. When Mady was born it was a planned unplanned csection. It was a weird situation, and it essentially ended up being an emergency csection and all happened very fast. Mady has always been on the move and the go a flurry of activity from the beginning, which is how an emergency csection happens.

Brynn was a planned csection. She was a breech baby and big (9lbs 12oz). As the NP told me she was not coming out by herself at all. So September 9 we got up, and headed for the hospital. We were calm, having been through it all once fairly recently helped. Everything went relatively smoothly. Brynn Alexis was born at 2:34pm. She had chubby cheeks and chunky thighs and she was our adorable little girl. We were elated to have our second daughter!

She started as a calm baby girl who slept a lot and loved to cuddle. She is still like that, well she sleeps less, but she is a happy, playful, energetic new toddler. At 1 she is walking nearly all the time, she is starting to talk, she is nervous around strangers, but once she warms up, she loves everyone. Seeing her walk up to you with a huge smile and arms up can make your entire day better. I know soon she will be running and wanting held less and less, so we are taking advantage of the cuddle time and baby love she gives now.

I pray that Brynn never loses the happiness and joy she has now. That she is always that girl with a big smile! She will always be to her mommy at least.
