BRENNA TIME

Brenna had her time each day with mama before the baby was born. After the brothers went down for their daily nap she had about an hour with me and only me. We played games and did her letters. Since Cynthia, I have tried to give her a little one-on-one time each day bit at times it is difficult. Her disappointment came on gradually and blew up one day.

At first it was seen when Shane yelled from downstairs, "Brenna, I love you!" and he heard the reply. "Yeah, but I bet you love Cynthia more."

Then a day of tears about a week later revealed the full weight of her feelings. "Mom, you never want me ever since Cynthia came out."

Now I try to play with her. She doesn't just want to be with me, she wants my full attention...for just a little moment each day. That is doable.

CINDY LOU

Everything extracurricular in my life has been on hold for the past two months. Life is way too BUSY to keep up with...but GREAT. 1/5/2012 Cynthia Louise was born at 11:03 AM, 7 pounds 10 ounces, 20 and a quarter inches long. She came out screaming and screamed until she was put in her mamas arms...not only because she loved me but because she was HUNGRY and wanted the milk and knew exactly where it was and how to get it.

3 weeks later she continues to be the perfect baby. She is so even tempted and sweet. The only time she cries is when she is hungry...and if delayed for too long...she screams.

She is SOO BEAUTIFUL!!! Her head is perfect because she came out my belly. Her fingers and toes are long and elegant like her mamas. She has a pretty little nose.

The brothers ignore her except for a small moment each day when the stop and hold her tiny little hand before running off again. Brenna loves her and wants to feed her, change her diapers, and carry her everywhere. She has been disappointed by how little she is able to help feed her.
