Brittyn at the hospital...









Hospitals are so annoying...I mean that in a nice way...like a necessary evil kind of nice way. I'm grateful that they are there and provide medicine and treatment and an epidural for me when I was in pain during labor, but really they are a business like everyone else and are annoying at the same time as they are helpful. Overall the birth wasn't a bad process, once we got going, and I got my TWO doses of epidural medicine, I was good to go. The midwife let me labor down until it was time to push. Thankfully I was only in labor for a total of 12 hours this time, versus 21 with Ryan. I only had to push two times before we met our baby girl. I know, some of y'all may be surprised but it is true!!! The nurses were good and let family in so everyone could meet her and after all the weights and measurements were done, they let us go upstairs to our room. Brittyn did great, thanks to all the family members and friends who helped out with watching Ryan for us while we were in the hospital, we really appreciate it. We were so glad to have y'all helping out!!!

The Newest Addition...











If you haven't already met her or seen pictures on Facebook, we'd like to introduce our newest addition to the Longfellow Family...Brittyn Gray Longfellow!!! She was born on September 14, 2010. She weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 10 3/4 inches long. Brittyn has a head full of dark hair and beautiful blue/gray eyes. I'm interested to see how long she keeps either of those characteristics because I can already see light hair underneath all that dark hair. Either way, we are so blessed to have her join our family. She is healthy, happy and gorgeous!!!

Someone please answer the phone...

Ryan love to use the phone. Even if its NOT a phone, she still loves to take anything that looks like it could be used as a phone and "talk" to someone. We've seen her use everything from the house phone to our cell phones to Ipods to Wii remotes to tv remotes and she's always wanting to talk to someone. We start on the way home every afternoon and she goes through all the family members asking me to call them. We usually start with Jaren then Kylia then Terah then Chickie and then Garet and Olivia. Olivia is a new one for me, but we still try to call. Most everyone is at work so then she starts on the hubbys. Drew, BB, Duncan, etc. Sometimes we get through but mostly she just wants to see their pictures on my phone. So funny, she is such a big girl, calling Jaren in this clip. But at the same time, showing us she still has quite a bit to learn about phone etiquette. We try!
