Brinley's 1st Birthday Party...

I can't believe my baby is a year old already! She turned 1 on July 7, so we had her party on July 10 at my parents house. We had all of our family and friends there for the big party.

Brinley's 1st Birthday Photo Shoot...

Easter Pictures...

Last Saturday we took Brinley to Highlite Photography at Gardner Village to have her Easter pictures taken. They had live bunnies at the shoot for Easter. I thought this was a cute and different idea. Brinley loved the bunnies! She tried to grab them and wanted to put them in her mouth. We got some wonderful pictures, it was hard to choose.

Ears Peirced....

So I finally did it! I took Brinley a couple of weeks ago to get her ears peirced. She did great. She only cried for a few minutes, no longer than when she gets her shots. She looks so dang cute with her little diamond earrings in.

8 Months Old...

I can't believe that my baby is 8 months old! WOW, how time flies. She is getting so big . She can do so many things like; sit all by herself, feed her self finger foods, hold her own bottle, smile at everything, laugh, roll all over the place, get to her belly from a sitting position, has her two bottom teeth, slither on her belly backwards ( hasn't quite figured out how to crawl ). She is the happiest baby I have ever seen! Always laughing and smiling. She loves to go shopping and sit in the cart, go for walks, play in her Jumperoo, and hang out with her mom and dad. She sleeps from 7pm until 6am and takes two naps. Her morning nap she will sleep between 2-3 hours and her afternoon nap will sleep between 1 1/2-2 hours. She has the best personality. I just love and adore this little princess.

Lumpy's Downtown

On Saturday night, Jake and I went to Lumpy's for my brother Kyle's birthday. It was the first time we have left Brinley over night. We left her at my mom's house and she did wonderful! We had a great time. It was nice to see all of my brothers friends. I am still trying to recoperate after our late night and a few drinks.

Brinley's 1st Photo Shoot

These pictures are from Brinley's first photo shoot when she was 2 weeks old. We had them done at a place called Peekaboo Photos. She did such a wonderful job, we are going back for her 1st birthday pictures.

Random Pictures of Brinley

So since I haven't been keeping up with my blog here are a few pictures of Brinley. She is now 6 1/2 months old. She has two teeth, rolls all over the place, eats solids, almost sitting all by herself, and has a darling personality!

Seeing Santa

Hello all my blogger friends. Just getting back in the swing of things. We took Brinley to see santa the day after Thanksgiving and she did great.

The Story...

On Sunday July 5 I started to have bad back pain and pelvic pressure. Around 11:30pm I had Jake take me to labor and delivery at St. Mark's, I couldn't take the pain any longer. My contractions were 5 minutes apart. We got checked in and hooked up to monitors. My contractions were 5-6 minutes apart but very strong. I was still dilated to a 1! They called my doctor and he told them to give me a shot of Morphine and send me home so I could get some sleep and I would see him at my appointment the next day. Monday morning comes around and I start getting the same pains but my contractions are 3-4 minutes apart. My appointment was at 3pm so I thought I would stick it out till then. I had Jake leave work early so he could take me since I was in no condition to drive. I get to his office, having contractions in the waiting room! The nurse calls me back and immediately my doctors says you are having this baby tonight so you need to go to labor and delivery. We get there and again they get me hooked up to the monitors, start an I.V., and get my Epidural in. At this time I am still dilated to a 1. My doctor comes in and breaks my water and loosens the scar tissue around my cervix from my previous surgeries that was keeping me from dilating. Within 2 hours I was dilated to a 3+. After about another 3 hours I was dilated to a 9+. I was very surprised that I dilated on my own with no Pitosin! Around midnight I started to push. I pushed for 2 and a half hours with no progress. My doctor came in and had me push for him a couple of times to make sure I was not progressing. Which I was not. He also tried to turn the baby since she was looking up, instead of down, so her head was stuck in my pelvis. So at 2:30am we decided to do a C-section. She was born at 2:55am at 9lbs. 3oz. and 21 1/2 inches long.

Finally Here....

Brinley Rae Jordison was born on July 7, 2009 at 2:55am by C-section. She weighted a whopping 9lbs. 3oz. and 21 inches long.
