Kim and Mark before the grand entrance of Baby Brooklyn
(I was able to catch Kim with a smile between contractions)
Grandma Connie and Grandma Jill giddy with excitement!
Baby Brooklyn Jamie Bell was born 11/21/11 at 4:04 pm
7 pounds 10 ounces, 21 inches long
Mother and daughter
The proud daddy!
She is a good combination of Jaxson and Wyatt

Brooklyn had low blood sugar (35. . .should be 100) because Kim is diabetic and Brooklyn was receiving insulin from Kim. Now, Brooklyn has to get her pancreas working to make her own insulin, so she is in the NICU for a few days. Mark and Kelly were able to give Brooklyn a priesthood blessing in the NICU. The nurse who was taking care of Brooklyn recognized Jill. They finally realized they knew each other from another hospital 12 years previous! This same nurse was Jamie's favorite nurse when Jamie was ill. We had felt Jamie there all day with us. Jamie is Kim's older sister who passed away 12 years ago from leukemia at the age of 21. A 'Divine Signature' that there are always angels among us, helping those they love.

A beautiful, gorgeous little princess has come to bless our lives and to teach us!
Welcome, baby Brooklyn!
She's so little, and so cute. I have no idea how you can tell who she looks like. The only baby that ever looked like someone to me was Caroline. That was Matt in female form. Other than that, I couldn't choose who she looked like if I was forced to! :) I'm so happy for everyone. Can't wait to meet the little munchkin in a few short weeks! P.s. Mom- you look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics momma- keep em coming. I also agree with Rob- cant really tell who she looks like- but excited to meet her. (look- i am commenting... :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to see her when the swelling goes down a bit and she opens her eyes. So glad you got to be there for it. I have a feeling no one will be around this time around so I am grateful you were there for Caroline. Thanks for posting pictures! Loveya
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! She's beautiful!!!
ReplyDeletePretty girl! So glad you got to be there - I'm afraid I've gotta vote with Rob & Alyssa....can't tell yet who she looks like....maybe in person...LOVES!
