Settling in as a family of four!

Snoozing the day away...I hope she's always this good of a sleeper!  Abigail's crying and playing haven't phased her one bit...guess she's been hearing it all for the last 9 months!

 Abigail has recently decided that she would much rather run around the house without clothes on than with!  So, here she is hiding in the curtains!

And she thought her new baby's bed was a comfy place to sit...with all her babies and blankies on top of her!

She loves holding the baby!

 Playing in the new tunnel/tent she got from Brianna!

Auntie came over to visit and Brianna spent some quality time getting to know her cousin...such a comfy place to sleep!

4 days old!

Unfortunately, all of the snuggling came to a screeching halt yesterday when Abigail woke up with a fever and cough...thank you daycare!  So, Brianna and I have been quarantined to the den and bedroom and Brad has been doing an awesome job taking care of and entertaining a whiny, sick Abigail!  She is feeling a bit better today, but we will still be on quarantine for a few days!  It's so hard not to be able to snuggle my sick kiddo when she doesn't feel good, but Daddy is doing an awesome job!

5 days old!

We went to the doctor today and Brianna is almost back up to her birth weight...which is awesome at only 6 days old!  So far, no signs of Abigail's sickness, but are diligently hand-sanitizing and sanitizing just about every surface we can!

Welcoming Brianna!

My due date was March 7th, but on February 25th, my doctor decided it would be best to get things rolling.  So, Brad and I went to the hospital on Tuesday night, the 25th, for monitoring of the baby, then I was induced on the morning of the 26th.  This pic is right before we left for the hospital!

Last photo as a family of three!!  Thanks Nanny and Papa for staying with Abigail while we were at the hospital!

And at 5:17pm on Feb 26th, Miss Brianna Lynn made her debut!  We are so grateful to God that everything went so smoothly and so much easier this time!

7 lbs 1 oz, only 2 oz bigger than Abigail and their length was exactly the same-19 3/4in!

Proud Daddy...he's in for it now...two girls!!

 Nanny and Papa came by to visit when she was just a few hours old!

She looks a lot like Abigail, but also has her own look!

Auntie Lisa's turn to snuggle!

Abigail came and met Brianna the next day.  She was quite intrigued and interested at this live baby doll!  I hope she continues to be so excited and interested!

She wanted to take the blanket off and see what was inside there!

She pointed out diaper, belly, feet, and wanted to wrap her back up!

Our first photo as a family of 4!

Giving the baby loves!

Brianna's first bath...she loved the head massage!

All tuckered out after her bath!

Pretty girl!!

Sisters?!!  Brianna on top and Abigail on the bottom!

Ready to go home!  I forgot how tiny they are and how the car seat drowns them!

The last couple weeks before baby!

Cool cat...catchin' some sun after a cold winter!

Snacks in the backyard on a day that finally felt like spring!

Reading a bedtime story with Daddy and Auntie Stef

 The many faces of Miss Abigail!!!  We crack up every time we see these pics!!

Sad face...or maybe surprise?!

Another attempt at sad face...

"Cheese"!

More sad face!

And another sad face!

Surprise face!!

The weekend before Brianna was born, the whole Holland clan was in Boise.  Brad's grandpa had had some heart issues earlier in the week and had been placed on hospice at home.  So all of the kids and grandkids and one great-grandkid were in town for the weekend to visit.  We all went to lunch on Saturday with Grandma!  I don't think anyone could figure out when the last time was that everyone was all together!  What a special weekend!
