Daddy's Girls

I was trying to get a picture of the girls in their matching dresses but Brynnly insisted that her Daddy needed to be in it too. She even wrapped her arm around his head and pulled him in... SOOO SWEET!

Surprise!!!

I didn't think that I would have a delivery story this time. Having a planned c-section took that excitement away. I wasn't scheduled to go in until December 8Th... I was due on December 12th.
Danny took Friday off so we could go see New Moon... What an awesome hubby huh? We went to the movie at 11 (a.m.) with my mom and grandma. My sister, Chelsea, watched Brynnly for us. After my mom and I went to the fabric center to get some fabric for a baby quilt my grandma, mom and I were making. On the way home my mom got Mc Donalds and I wasn't very hungry but decided that I should get something. We went home and hung out for a bit. Then Danny, Brynnly,and I left to go to my grandma's house to make Brielle's quilt.
We had been gone for about 3 mins when I decided to call my mom. I asked her what contractions felt like because I had forgot from when I had Brynnly. I told her that I was probably just being dramatic but I felt funny. I really just felt weird. I didn't want to be a drama queen but I told Danny that I thought that i was in labor. The "contractions" didn't really feel like I remembered. But I had him start to time them anyway. We ran into target to buy Brynnly a coat... I could hardly stand. Thankfully my grandma didn't live far. We got to my grandma's house and when she opened the door i said, "Grandma, I think I'm in labor." So I called the hospital and talked to the nurse (by this time the contractions were 1-2 mins apart and i was dying) The nurse told me to wait another hour because this had only been going on for an hour and it probably was nothing. I also was put on a list to have the on call doctor call me. I then called my mom and told her to meet me at the hospital to get Brynnly. I was in so much pain. I didn't wait the hour we just went to the hospital. My mom met us there and took my bug and Danny and I ran in. I was almost in tears.
We checked in and i could tell the nurses thought I was nuts. But when they checked me to see if they would keep me i was at a 7, fully efaced and had a bulgy bag. Then the chaos started... I asked them if they would be able to get me back for the c-section before i had to push. Her answer was "well we are going to try!" They were running everywhere. They couldn't get and iv started and had to get the anesthesiologist to come get one started. Then they rushed me back to surgery. By the time I got back there I was ready to push. Thankfully my doctor was there and they started the c-section.

Recap: Contractions started 3:30... Got to the hospital 5:00... Ready to push 6:00!! Holy smokes!!
Brielle Sherri Clark was born 6:15 pm 6lbs 7oz 19 1/2in... 3 weeks and 1 day early...

More pictures to come... Brynnly is the best big sister. And Brielle looks JUST LIKE here. When we left the hospital Brielle weighed 5lbs 12oz. They are a little worried about that but other than losing more than the normal amount of weight she is doing amazing!

So close... But yet so far!

3 WEEKS TILL BABY!! It still seems like so far away... but we are down to weeks!

Happy Halloween!

I am the worst at remembering to take pictures so we're lucky to have one! Here it is!

We went to South Towne Mall to trick-or-treat! We got there a few minutes before it started. Man was it nuts! Brynnly loved it. That night we went trick-or-treating in my parents neighborhood with my mom and sister Sherri. Brynnly kept saying "Another one?" She didn't want to quit. She was so excited to show her daddy all the candy she collected.

Another cute thing she started doing... She said to me "Guess what mom?" and I say "What Bug?" and she says "I love you!"

How much cuter could she be?
