Happy 3rd Birthday Braelyn!

Surely it cannot have been 3 whole years since my baby girl was born! Oh my goodness where does the time go?? Three years ago today I had been in the hospital for almost 5 days waiting to find out if unborn baby Braelyn was going to be okay. I went into early labor at 33.3 weeks & they put a hault to her entrance for a few days to give her the steroids for her lungs to finish developing. Once they determined that everything looked good, they took me off of the meds & let Braelyn Alexis make her grand entrance! At 6 weeks early & weighing in at 5 lbs. 13 oz., she would have been a big full term baby like her sister! She still looked so tiny to us! After a brief 5 day stay in the NICU, Braelyn was able to come home. She has been such a blessing to our family and she is loved SO much! Brinley loves Braelyn (most of the time) and it is funny how the girls have such different personalities. We love them both very much and are very thankful for both of them!! Happy 3rd Birthday Braelyn!! Here are a few pics from her day & a short video...



yesterday she wore her "birthday princess" shirt and James took her to breakfast & I took her to Starbucks for her whipped cream in a cup! (notice what they wrote on her cup!)
