Reflections of the Rasmussens: We had a BABY!!!

It has been WAY too long...but we're back! ...And,

WE HAD A BABY!

This is our beautiful Brinley Rose.

She was born on July 3rd at 10:38 a.m. and weighed in at 7 lbs. 2 ounces and was 19 1/4 inches long.

She's perfect.

When I first started blogging, it was fun. But after awhile it just became too high maintenance.

But I still want to do it! So from now on, I'm just going to upload the pics as they are, none of that ridiculous editing business. Point, click, blog.

Alex and Grace made 'BIG BRO' and BIG SIS' shirts by ironing on cutout letters and then spraying them down with bleach water. A really fun activity!

The big day!

Brinley Rose

I think I have almost this exact same shot of Alex from when Grace was born...it'd be fun to look at the comparison.

Chris was amazing as always in the delivery room. Although, I was surprised when this time he said he didn't want to cut the cord...so I did! It was awesome!

Already BFF's! This is Brinley with Lydia Jane Koeppen, born on June 1st.

Jaundice. Groan. Moan. Took these pictures out of pity for myself mostly...it was so sad having to keep Brinley under this light the entire first week of her life. It sucked!
