Visitors

Here is the little bundle of joy!

Lydia Celeste Brimhall

(I hate picture right after the baby is out, I look just fabulous)

Lydia has had many visitors..... The first was Grandma Mickelson

Then Grandma Kimmy...

And then this sweet little reunion! It was a bitter/sweet moment for me when Maycee came to meet her little sister for the first time. She saw me sitting in the hospital bed and didn't want a thing to do with me! It hurt my feelings really bad :( Its like she was scared. She was in a new place and I was in a weird gown. She had been spending the last day with all her aunts and uncles and i'm sure they had been spoiling her like crazy! I guess I should have expected it.

Anyway it was cute because you could see her scanning the room for Lydia. Everyone had been telling her that she was going to meet her sister. And then when she saw her it was like love at first sight! She immediately pointed and gasped and wanted to hold her right away. She was so enthralled with this new little sister. She wanted to touch her eyes and ears and mouth and nose and hands and toes and kept giving her kiss after kiss after kiss. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome!

This was the best picture I got. I'm sure my mom has some better ones. Maybe she could post them. (wink wink)

Grandpa Mickelson

Aunt Ruthie

And yes, she has kept up with the tradition. She has come over several days to just sit and hold Little Miss Lydia. (She did this when Maycee was born too. Came over every other day for the first month just to sit and hold Maycee.) (And sorry your head is fuzzy, Rachel was taking pictures)

Aunt Rachel

These were my best attempts to try to make myself more appealing to Maycee. Put a shirt over the gown and tried sitting on the couch instead of the bed. No luck, I never did get a hug or a kiss from her that night. Heart breaking really. I wanted to cry.

Here is Ricky and Brittany. They just found out they are having a boy. Congrats guys :)

(sorry about the blurriness)

Larry and Karri also came to visit us in the hospital. Along with one of my good friends from college, Brienne. Thanx so much to everyone for coming to visit!

Blake is such a proud Daddy! He loves to show her off :)

The next day we were able to come home. It was so much fun!! Literally. We had a house full. Grandma Kimmy, Aunt Allee, Uncle Brandon, Grandma Mickelson, Aunt Ruthie, Uncle Dallin Aunt Rachel and Uncle David. They had beans on the stove and bread almost in the oven. And did I mentioned they cleaned my house. It was so wonderful!!!

More visitors followed that evening, Vaughn and Kindra came, Kurtis mad and appearance and the Reidhead family all came to meet Lydia.

One of the family traditions that we have is that "daddy", Blake, gets to pick out the outfit that baby comes home in. In this case he picked out an outfit for Lydia and Maycee. Maycee had just woken up from a nap and didn't quite get all of hers on. None the less, they still make a cute little couple :) Maycee was still so excited to see her little sister the next day. (and still is everyday)

Here she is very interested in her little toes... She didn't really get to see them at the hospital because Lydia was all bundled up.

Blake's Three Little Girls

(I can say that about myself, right?)

One BIG happy Family of 4!!! Its still weird for me to say... that there is 4 of us now, wow!

Lydia also had visit's from the Great-Grandparents Kathy and Shum...

This is the Great Grandma Kathy that made Lydia's blessing blanket that I showed you in a previous post. Thank you again Grandma :)

Karl and Ruth Brown
