In light of this, I thought it was high time to re-enter the blogosphere... with a throwback post. This gives you a sneak peek of B's arrival, and provides me with a little more time to figure out how I'm going to arrange my 'transitional' posts after a year of blogging inactivity.
So here we go! A post I began almost a year ago and have "saved" (doesn't that sound intentional?) until now!
It's good to be back on the blog, friends. I have missed you:)
*****
[This post was initially titled, "She's Here!" Since she's been here for almost 12 months, I think I should replace the old title with, "B's Arrival!" Yes. I like that.]
Good news, friends: the wait is over! Bronwyn is here!
[See, Jenn of the last post, she arrived before you turned 40.]
Actually, she's been here for about two months, but I've decided that it's finally time to document our time with here here on the blog.
To give you the quick run-down:
- B was born the first week of February at 4:00 PM, exactly.
- 7 lbs, 10.6 oz and 19.75 inches long. Short and petite:)
- She is a very lovable, and well-loved baby.

| D feeling B kick. What am I wearing here? In the week before B was born I just kind of threw in the fashion towel. Whatever fit. |
Saying that the weeks leading up to Bronwyn's arrival were filled with anticipation would be an understatement. My emotions were a mixed, ranging from impatience to excitement, to uncertainty about the delivery process following an induction.
D remained optimistic. He had fun feeling her kick, and laying his head on my belly. He would talk with her and about her. And although he knew that her name was Bronwyn, when I asked what pet name we should give her ('fighting guy name' as D put it), he insisted on 'Thunderbaum.' I can't make this stuff up. I have no idea how he came up with that name, but it stuck.
And now, our new life as a family of four in pictures (in no particular order):
Nani is the best when it comes to playing with bugs and dinosaurs.
Heading home from the hospital!
Much of the day is spent like this...
I'm not sure what was happening here... I think this is his protective face.
This kid is a natural big brother, and B is surviving his affections.
A visit from Nani at the hospital.
Meeting dad:)
When David first came to see us at the hospital, he had to work hard to divide his affection among me, the baby and the chicken strips.
First picture as a family of four:)
First time holding his new sister! He was SO excited.
Unimpressed with the salon service at home...
Did your heart explode upon seeing this? Mine did as I was taking it.
And then I had to snap back into parenting mode when this immediately followed...
Enough!
