Bristol is here








Bristol has been here with us for almost 2 weeks now! We are adjusting to life with 3 kids who are 3 and under. She was born may 29th via repeat c-section. It was a stormy morning and the lights even flicked at the hospital. My friend Lindsey watched the boys that morning so my family could all be at the hospital that morning. Everything went so smoothly with the surgery and her birth. I had a great nurse and great nurse anesthesist, and my wonderful doctor. It always makes me laugh at how casual everything is during surgery and everyone talking about their golf game and the weekend while you are laying there cut wide open. She was born screaming her head off! She was so mad and has a set of lungs. After I was all put back together We were taken to recovery and I got to snuggle her and do some skin to skin time with her. I then let some of the family back to see her and I nursed her. After a hour we were moved to our room. They gave her her first bath in the room and she screamed and screamed until they washed her hair. She loved her hair being washed, she has lots of hair. I hated being away fom my boys while in the hospital. We spent Tuesday - Friday morning in the hospital. The recovery went a lot easier than with Brayden. I assume because I didn't labor for so long before surgery. The boys came to the hospital to visit on Wednesday and Bennett gave her like 15 kisses! Bennett doesn't give out kisses easily so this shocked me and melted my heart. Brayden was more interested in the candy in the room at first. Since being homebrayden is the one constantly kissing on her and hugging her. He always wants to "hold" her. Neither of the boys ever want her to cry. We haven't ventured out to many public places with all 3 yet, except the doctor or my moms house and chick fil a once. She eats very well and has surpassed her birth weight. She sleeps a lot, day and night. She is so sweet and cuddly. She hates her diaper changed and turns so red when she gets mad!
