Birth of Brady, March 17th

On St. Patrick's Day, handsome baby Brady made his appearance about 9:30 pm. Blaine and Marissa were very happy with their hospital experience from their check-in that morning at 6 am to Brady's delivery that evening. I was home taking care of sweet Mylee while Dave was in Argentina on a business trip. Later that evening, Mylee and I drove to the hospital to see her new baby brother and our newest grandson.


Mylee meeting her new baby brother. Brady weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz., was 21" long, and his head circumference was 14 1/4".


The family. Blaine was a bit tired--he had some very busy days at work before hand and Brady's birth day was a long one. The day after Brady was born, Blaine ended up in the emergency room at the same hospital in terrible pain with a kidney stone--his first and hopefully last one. I think we all learned how important it is to drink plenty of water.


Mylee spent a bit of time with her Gram while her family was at the hospital. Here she is checking out the comfort of the doll's bed.



Mylee and her Gram enjoying homemade popcorn.



We even made homemade hot chocolate (her Gram is into making everything from scratch these days).



Marissa home from the hospital at last! Mylee holding diapered Elmo. Mylee is way into being a mom these days.



Do you think there is a resemblance between Mylee and her Auntie Melinda? We think so.

Brady has a lot of dark hair--thicker on the sides and back of his head. He has beautiful dark eyebrows and steel blue eyes.



Here he is being burped but hoping for more milk.

Brady is adorable!!! Mylee is such a wonderful mother. Marissa looks gorgeous! I love her pink nightgown. Poor Blaine, but what an adorable family. We wish we could visit.
