Easter Egg Hunt

The bunny hid plastic eggs all over the house, and Elyse loved finding them this morning.
 



All the goodies the bunny left for Brynn and Elyse (and us too)


"Look! Eggs"

Happy Easter!

A Beautiful Day to be Outside

The weather is nice, so we decided to head outside to enjoy the sunshine!
Brynn all snuggled in!

The snow is melting, wonder if we will get more?

Sliding down the snow bank, Elyse refused to wear mittens as it was so nice out


Colouring Easter Eggs

I picked up an egg dye kit from Walmart this year for a buck and we all had fun colouring eggs!
All the colours with eggs in some of the glasses
Elyse loved it!

Not a good photo of Elyse but a nice shot of the eggs. We used elastic bands on the hard boiled eggs to get the multicoloured look.
A very proud girl

What Brynn did while we did up our eggs... Sleep!

1 Week Old!

Hard to believe that Brynn is a week old already!
We stopped by Public Health this afternoon, they have a drop in program Tuesday afternoons called "Weigh and See" You can have your baby weighed and talk with a Nurse in case you have any questions. We are still struggling with breastfeeding so I hoped they could give me some help with getting a better latch. All they could do is get me to call our Dr to get a phone/fax referral for a breastfeed consultation at the Misencordia Hospital; which I did and won't get to see the Dr there until April 4th!
What ever we are doing with the breastfeeding is working though, Brynn is now 7 lbs 11 ozs.
Which means that she has re-gained all the way to her birth weight and surpassed it!
 



She is visibly getting bigger, her thighs are starting to get rolls!

Elyse Meets Brynn and Coming Home

My mom is here helping us out with Elyse. She watched Elyse while Scott, Brynn and I spent our first night together in the hospital. She brought Elyse to the hospital this morning to meet Brynn for the first time.

We got discharged home at noon today, and we were home by 1 pm, less than 24 hours in the hospital! So nice to be home and what a difference this time around. With Elyse we spent a total of 8 nights in hospital with her.
