Big Boy Bed

It's official. Kyle is not my baby anymore. Greg converted his crib to the toddler day-bed. He slept in his crib fine last night until 2 a.m. when he decided to climb out and come out of his room.

So, tonight, Greg put him to bed and Kyle came out a few minutes later. Greg walked him back to bed and he has been asleep since. We'll see. Wish us luck!

Here We Go Again!

So, here I am attempting this blogging thing again. I really want to keep up with it. The kids are growing so fast and doing so many amazing things that I really need a place to brag about them. I know a lot of you keep up with me on Facebook, but some are not able to, I am trying to make this my main posting place.

I changed the name of the blog, so please note, it is now: kyleandbrynn.blogspot.com. I couldn't let Brynnie-bear feel left out of the blog title and I figured that Ky wouldn't mind sharing with his baby sister.

I am hoping to post a few times a week and gets videos and pics uploaded once a month. I say this, but as you all know, both kids keep me very busy. Brynn is a mama's girl and wants to be in my lap or on my hip all the time. Kyle is a busy little boy and is constantly into something which keeps me running around after him.

The kids and I had a wonderful time in Dallas over the past two weeks celebrating birthdays (Ryan, Emeri and Maggie) and the birth of my newest niece, Ellie Ann'Louise on May 18th. It was great to spend time with all of the family, but it is time to get home to League CIty and get back into our routine.

We are going to have a summer full of swimming, playdates and fun. I hope I can handle the heat!

Thanks for reading and I PROMISE to keep this blog updated!!

Happy Holidays

Okay, so a lot has happened in the last month. Most importantly, our beautiful daughter was born.

Brynn Michelle Hambright came into the world at 12:29 p.m. via C-section weighing 7 lbs. and 12 oz. and was 19.75 inches long. The C-section went very smoothly and I recovered very quickly. We were able to come home after only two days.

Brynn is such a good baby. She is a good sleeper at night and a very good eater. She fits in perfectly within our little family.

Kyle is loving his baby sister and is adjusting very well to her presence in our lives. He leaves her alone for the most part, but will come and give her a snuggle and put her binky in her mouth when she needs it.

We had a wonderful and low key Thanksgiving here in Houston. My parent's and Janet came down and we spent time together as a family. It was very relaxing.

Greg has about 2 weeks left of his Anesthesiology rotation and then we will be able to spend Christmas in Dallas. We can't wait!

I have posted pictures of Brynn on the left. Click on the picture of her.

Bad Blogger

Okay, so I'm not great at this blogging thing. I blame it on moving, chasing a toddler around and getting ready for Brynn's arrival.

I think that most people keep up with us on Facebook, so I don't feel so badly. I'm attempting to reconnect again via this blog.

Updates:
-We are officially moved and settled in our new home. We are loving it and it feels like "home" already.
-Brynn will be here in 2 weeks and 2 days!! UNBELIEVABLE! She is growing (i.e. I am huge!) We had an ultrasound last week and she weighed in at approx. 6 lbs. 4 oz. We got her baby furniture and her room is all ready for her!
-We recently acquired a pool table. A friend in my mom's group was giving it away. It is in great condition and now lives in our garage. We anticipate many parties and "get-togethers" in the upcoming months (while it is still cool enough to play outside".
-Greg finished his surgery rotation and just started his Family Medicine rotation today. I think it will be a lot less stressful than surgery (which is nice, since Brynn will be distracting his attention some :)

We hope everyone is doing well and we can't wait for you all to meet Brynn when she arrives! We are looking forward to a nice Thanksgiving here in Houston and then a long Christmas Break in Dallas!

We're moving!

That's right! We found a cute little house to rent! We are thrilled about being back in a house. Our apartment was very nice, but it is not made for 4. Our new house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house that was built in 2003. It is in great condition and ready to move into! We get the keys on the 25th of this month and will gradually move in over the course of a week. We still have our apartment until the end of October, so there is no rush getting moved out.

Now, I just need to start the process of packing. Having a "helpful" toddler will prove challenging, I'm sure.

After we move in, we have a month to get settled until Brynn arrives on November 4th. Only 8 weeks from today! I can't believe it. Our sweet girl will be here so soon!

New Ultrasound Photos!

We had another ultrasound today to check on Brynn's growth and to check on the placenta previa.

Good news all around! The placenta previa is almost gone. They consider it "marginal" at this point. It is no longer covering my cervix and is moving toward the back as my uterus grows. We will have another ultrasound in 6 weeks to check again.

Brynn is perfect! She is growing right on target with my due date. She weighs about 2 lbs and is in the 50th percentile. She was making really cute facial expressions during the ultrasound and had her fingers in her mouth.

We got some good pictures of our sweet, little girl-to-be. I had the tech make sure that she was still a girl. I know, I'm weird. She most certainly is! YAY for pink!

Now on to the pictures:

She looks a little alien like here (looking straight at her face)

Another pic of her face. She looks much more angelic here...

A profile shot with her hand in her mouth

Another profile shot. You can really see her little lips

Here is the shot of her girlie parts. They look for those "3 little white lines"

Here is the first picture of her girlie parts from 6 weeks ago. You can definitely tell it's a girl!!

And finally, here are a few shots of the Brynn-belly from last week.

Busy Little Boy!

Here are some pics from the last weeks or so of our busy, little boy. He has started to climb on everything and doesn't quite understand why we won't let him. If only he knew how dangerous the barstools and bookshelves are.

He is a talker for sure! His new thing is to say, "YAY!" after everything he does and clap his hands. It's very cute. I'll try to get a video of it soon!

As for me, the pregnancy is going very well. I am 22 and a half weeks and doing great! Brynn is definitely an active little girl (which I love) and she thinks that bedtime is playtime. Oh well.

Here are the pictures:

Reading one of his many books:
