Brynnlee Brunson

Brynnlee joined our family yesterday at 12:29 p.m. She weighed 8 lb. 13 oz. and measured 21 inches in length. She is currently in NICU due to a small amount of fluid in her lungs and respiratory distress. Apparently, it's not too uncommon for c-section babies to experience this. Jessica is doing great. The second c-section has been easier than the first and we're grateful she's progressing quickly. Brynnlee is beautiful, we love her immensely, and can't wait for her and Mom to return home. With some luck both Mom and Brynnlee will be released at the same time (hopefully Monday or Tuesday).

Aren't baby features the most adorable things in the world?
