Our newest addition....
Brenna Joy Anderson Bissey. She was born by c-section on 4-23-17 at 1:20 pm. She weighed in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and measured 18.5 inches. Although 4 days later she measure 19.75 inches so we think she wasn't allowing the nurses to stretch her out to her full length. She is already bringing us so much joy (that's why we chose it as her middle name).
Daddy and new daughter
Happy and tired Mama
Checking out daddy
1st silly face. :)
Sleepy half smile. She started smiling in her sleep right away. Awake smiles followed 3 weeks later
Going home
Meeting big brother, Sammy
He already loves her so much. We asked him if he was ready to get down, and he promptly said, "No!".
Grandma Beth came to stay and help with Sammy while we were at the hospital having Brenna. Sammy loved having her there to spend time with, and grandma got to be the first visitor to hold the new baby.
I was taking a selfie with Brenna and Sammy one night - someone was being a cheesehead. :)
Meeting Noni for the first time. Noni and Papa didn't meet Sammy until he was 4 months old, so it was really special that they got to meet Brenna at 5 days old. It was so nice to have them for a nice long visit, plus they got a little glimpse of what Sammy looked like when he was this little. He and Brenna could pass for twins in their baby pictures.
Papa and Sammy
I love her in this dress.
Already getting so big - this was the last newborn size outfit she wore.
Sleeping on daddy in church.
Still sleepy smiles.
The dress I made. I love how it looks on her.
Smiling at daddy. This is when she started smiling while awake. I don't think Sammy smiled this early - although they are both happy kids.
Mama and Sammy on family picture day. I'll post those later. Hopefully I'll be able to update more often, although I'm still lacking sleep. We'll see how it goes. Haha.
