Our Newbie

                                                               Bronwyn Sophia

Bronwyn decided to show up a little early, for which we are grateful.  It's been so nice to have a little extra time with Reed (since he has the week off) and even nicer that it's time to spend with our new little family member!

Her name: There is no real rhyme or reason to the name Bronwyn.  I had read it in a book by a favorite author as a teen, and Reed's bro and sis-in-law had a friend with the name.  It's of English/Welsh descent, I believe, but we just liked it. Her middle name is a family name, which I just like to do for my kids - give them a family tie to their name, and boy was it hard to decide which family name would grace the middle of Bronwyn's name.  Even up to a few weeks ago, I was starting to flounder on the name Bronwyn but luckily when she came out she looked like a Bronwyn and so her name stuck! :)  I'm sure that relieved Reed a lot. 

She has been such a sweet little baby thus far in life.  She eats, she sleeps.  Sometimes she poops.  We just love to hold her and snuggle her, with lots of in-between time of doing some holding and snuggling with Aftyn too.  Aftyn seems to like Bronwyn and we're excited to watch them grow up and become friends. 

I'll write more later, but for now, just know we're having fun as a family!

She's adorable! Look at all that hair and those precious cheeks, already a little chubby even! Soooo cute. Welcome, little Bronwyn. Glad to hear she arrived safely, and a bit early! Congratulations.

She is so beautiful! I'm glad for your sake that she came early... you seemed ready to be done with pregnancy. When are you up for visitors? I want to come snuggle with her for a few minutes, too.

She's so precious! I hope you are all doing well at home. Hopefully you don't mind, but I stole the picture and printed it off for our nieces/nephews board. We'll have to see you again soon and snuggle cute little Bronwyn!

We are ready for visitors most anytime, Saturday we are doing pictures sometime, but other than that, we have plans to be going nowhere. :)

What a beautiful little girl! She reminds me of Macy as a baby with all that hair. So happy for you! Thank you for the phone call when she was born. Enjoy!
