My Girls


When Brecklynn was 4 days old my sister, Chrystal, came over to take some pictures. She got some great shots of my girls. Thank you! Here are a few...



My fav. of Taylor



I already just cherish these pictures so much! Brecklynn is just getting so big so fast, and Taylor too. I only have them this size for such a short while!

Brecklynn

It is sad I know. She is ten weeks old now! I blame it on exhaustion, losing the cord for my camera and laziness.

Here is out little girl.
Brecklynn Charmaine Seymour
She was born June 9th at 7:45
7 lbs. 13 oz and 20 in. long


She was actually about two weeks early. She wasn't due until the 21st. I went to my doctor's on the 7th and he told me that I was almost 5 cm. I was pretty surprised. I figured I would be dilated, but a 5 seemed like a lot. So he gave me this whole spiel about not waiting till me contractions get to bead when I do go into labor because he was so worried about me making it to the hospital. Which that whole thought freaked me out. Anyway I had been having on and off contractions for days. Then early in the morning on the 9th the seemed a little more consistent. Rob left for work and just told him to keep his cell phone on him. I decided to get ready for the day. My contractions became closer, like every 10 min. So then I decided I should probably pack my bag! Around 1:00 they were about 7 min. apart. I was nervous to wait to long to get to the hospital so I called Rob. He said he would be home in 30 min. So then I called my mom to come sit with Taylor. Rob got home. I said bye to Taylor. It was almost emotional. I was weird to me that this would be our last time with just the three of us. I was worried about how she would be with the new baby and how much it was going to change her world! Anyway, we left for the hospital. Checked in, I was about a 7. They moved me to my room and got me all set up. Told me I could get my epidural and I said, "yes please!" It was all very clam. We aren't sure if it was because we knew what to expect this time, but we were both clam and just happy and enjoying our time. So I reached about a 10 but my water wasn't breaking. So we had to wait for my doctor to come and he didn't show up till 7. He broke my water and I pushed for maybe 20 min. and she was here! Way different than the two hours of pushing with Taylor!


My mom brought Taylor over right after she was born. Taylor was a little nervous being in the hospital and didn't know what to think. She has been so great though and just ADORES her now.



She is very dark. Dark hair and darker skin than Taylor. Her eyes look like they are going to be blue. Everyone still says she looks like Rob even though she will have brown hair and blue eyes like me.

Now these pictures are so old because she is so much bigger already! My goal is to be better about writing down all of her milestones and stuff like I did with Taylor. Hopefully I can do it!
