Heaven Sent

Last night 9-24-08 at 9:50pm we welcomed our precious little one into this world. Bridger Jaman Brunson. Weighing in at 7lbs 15ounces and 20 inches long. I had everyone tricked into thinking a 6 pound baby but they were wrong. Labor went really well. I really couldn't have asked for better. I had such a wonderful midwife that Jaman and I adore. She made our experience so wonderful.

This picture is identical of Taylor on the scale. They look so much alike minus a few body parts.

He has tons of dark hair. We think he has a little more than Taylor did. We are so happy to have him apart of the family. Heavenly Father blessed us so much with a healthy baby boy. We are also so blessed to have such wonderful neighbor friends that were so willing to help with Taylor. Thank you all so much.

Baby Bridger

Here is one you can actually see him. And yes Jaman was there for this event. He just hasn't posed yet for any pictures. Don't worry he wont be getting out of it. He is one proud papa just hates pictures.

My little brother

Taylor was so excited to meet her little brother this morning. She was in heaven. Just gleaming with joy. She brought him a little dog that she picked out with her dad. Talk about a wonderful experience as a mom. I am so happy to have 2 little joys in my life.

She kept asking to hold him and saying "OH SO CUTE"

She is quick to let me know when he is crying. I can see one big helper on my hands.

Such wonderful friends and a baby shower

Here is my super cute and wonderful friend Sara. She threw me a baby shower last night and did such a cute job. She always goes over the top on everything and does such a wonderful job. She also just had a baby and I must say looks amazing. Thanks Sara for doing this for me. You are a great friend.

Here are all the lovely ladies I got to spend the evening with. All but a few live right here in the same complex as me. We call it Mormon Villa because of all the member families. I just love it and these faces are one thing I am going to be sad to leave behind. It is so nice having such wonderful friends out your back door. Thanks ladies for such a wonderful night. You are all the greatest. Now I just hope this little guy will join us soon. I am dialated to a 3, 60% effaced, and he has dropped so anyday would be fabulous. I must say having the feeling of a bowling ball between the legs isn't the greatest.

My Healing Mouth..

So I wanted to get a picture of Taylor's teeth that have healed quite well. We have been lucky and her mouth from her accident has healed quickly and a lot better than we had imagined. Although she has lost one of her side teeth her little front one is straightening more and more each day. We go to a final check up on Tuesday. She is quite the character when I try to get her to smile and show all her teeth. This is how much luck I had.

Her of course saying I am tired of pictures mommy.

And last of all....the closest I could get a smirk saying "OK mommy I am really done." So I guess I won't be showing you her improvement. What can I say I have quite the silly girl. With a personality I never imagined being blessed with.

My Comfort Kitty

Grandpa and Grandma Brunson sent Taylor this kitty in the mail after she got hurt. She loves this kitty and carries it everywhere. When you put the bottle up to the mouth it moves its legs and meow's! I think it is wonderful. I am not a big pet lover so I told Jaman lets go get her a dog one too and call pets in our life good! Thanks for this. It has helped take attention away from her mouth and has helped as a comfort!

Blossoming Belly

Due to much request of a picture of my belly. Here it is. I guess those that live away like to see how big I am. I can't believe I am starting into 36 weeks tomorrow. This pregnancy has been tougher but has gone by so fast. I don't know about anybody else but the second go around is not near as fun as the first. Don't get me wrong I love to hear his heartbeat and feel this amazing miracle inside of me but getting a belly and all that is not so cool the second time. I am hoping to have Tara's luck and post this and go into labor soon after but I think that is wishful thinking.

An unexciting trip to the ER

Well we had quite the trip to the ER on Labor Day! We were outside enjoying a BBQ with friends and our little miss Taylor fell off the ladder on the jungle gym and hit her mouth. It wasn't just a normal bump but blood gushing everywhere. Two of her teeth were pushed forward and the poor little girl was screaming. Jaman and I rushed her in checked her out had a friend help give her a fast blessing and rushed her to Children's Mercy ER. We walked in and I was covered with blood. You would think that a little kid that just had such trauma would want to just be held but no she wanted down and wanted to play. She is one tough little girl. She was calm and I her mom seeing her mouth all messed up was devistated. She ended breaking her upper maxilla bone. She had to be put out while an oral surgeon put her bone in place and stitched her up. In the process one of her teeth was unsavable so she lost her first tooth. That was so hard for Jaman and I to see her put out lying on the table with blood everywhere. We both had so many tears. She is doing well. You would never guess she even got hurt. It has been much harder on Jaman and I. I am so sad about her mouth. Our other biggest challenge was we had to take her binki away. She sleeps with it so this has been SO hard. We have had lots of tears and it breaks my heart. I know she needed weened from it anyway but not this way. So we are on our third night without the binki. She has done pretty good. Sometimes I want to go crazy but it has made me take the time to rock her to sleep and I have treasured that. This has been quite the emotional trip for me. I am sure being pregnant hasn't helped but I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who listens to me at anytime of the day. This has been hard but I constantly feel my Savior's love for me. I was having a rough time and had just got done saying a prayer and had felt so alone and I heard a knock on my door. It was a friend of mine (Calli) just checking to make sure I was ok. The spirit bore witness to me that day that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. I am thankful for friends that live so close to the spirit that she knew to come to my house. I am thankful for a loving husband who was worthy to give her a Priesthood blessing. Jaman has been so good through this whole thing and so patient with an emotional wife.
