March For Babies




On Saturday my family will be walking for the March of Dimes in the Annual Walk for Babies (previously known as walk america). The March of Dimes found the benefits of surfactant which is one of the main reasons Bryn was able to recover so quickly.

The March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will support lifesaving research, services, education and advocacy that help babies get a healthy start. Bryn was born at 36 weeks gestation with immature lungs and Pnemonia. She was given 2 doses of Surfactant which helped her lungs develop. Surfactant research was funded by March of Dimes! Without this treatment Bryn would not be the healthy baby that she is today! Please help me support the March of Dimes by donating today!

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

If you would like to donate to this amazing organization or would like to walk with us on Saturday please visit http://www.marchforbabies.org/brynstephens

Baptised

Our little family
The Stephens

Carter's, Duyck's, and Teel's (my side)
Nick and Jenny (Godparents)
Last Sunday we finally baptised Bryn. The entire Stephens family made the trip back to Iowa to celebrate with us as well as many other family and friends. Nick and Jenny (Bryn's Godparents) made it here from out of town but not without 4 new tires for Jenny. After pulling over with a flat on the interstate, replacing 2 tires, driving 12 miles, and replacing the other 2 tires they finally made it! We appreciate all the hard work it took to get here!



Bryn is doing great, and growing like a weed! Halle is still loving her little sister and is not yet showing much sign of jealousy. I am hoping it will never come (wishful thinking I know!)

What a difference 1 month makes!!

Happy Valentine's Day, Happy 1 month birthday Bryn!




Paul and I left the kids with my parents and went to dinner at Bass Street Chop House with Cortney and Brian for Valentine's Day! We had a great time and stayed out too late! I hope everyone else had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
Today is Bryn's 1 month birthday! She has come a long way in 1 month! She is still a great baby. Everyone asks me if she ever cries! Not very often that is for sure! Have a great day everyone!

Today is my due date


Today is my due date and instead of having a baby... I went to the grocery store! Tomorrow Bryn will be 4 weeks old! She is doing great! I think Halle is fully adjusted. She doesn't seem to have any jealousy issues and pretty much ignores Bryn most of the time! She does love to cover and uncover her, give her her binky and give her kisses on the head! It is so precious to see them together!
