Sweet girl, we are so thankful for you and for your life. The past month has been full of so many blessed and chaotic moments as we have transitioned from a family of 5-6, but what a gift it has been to have you join our family...you fit perfectly. From the moment they laid you on my chest in the hospital, I felt such closure, like you were the bookend, the missing piece all along. I wasn't sure four was the right number for our family, but the Lord knew...you were the one we were waiting for, the one we had prayed for, and the one that would complete our little family. You are everything we dreamed and more.
The newborn stage is so unique, it goes so quickly and yet it has some of the most intimate and sweet moments for mommy. The way you curl up on my chest, the way you smell, your grunts and groans, your little smiles, your fingers that hold so tightly to anything they can get their hands around, your tiny facial features, and your little toes...everything is oh so precious. I can't get enough of you, I am soaking it all in. I am cherishing every cuddle, every middle of the night feed, and even every little newborn cry...knowing it will most likely be the last time I ever experience that. So thankful it is with you! I pray you always know how much you're loved, and wanted.
You have already taught me so much about my need for Jesus, and the Father's great love for us. It is amazing how much our hearts can grow and love a new child, and to think that the love I have for you doesn't even scratch the surface of the love of the Father for His children, it astounds me. I love you more sweet girl, with each passing day. I am so blessed to get to call you mine.
Your siblings adore you, so much, especially Brayden...he is going to be such a great protector. And Brooklyn, well she is just thrilled to have a sister to match with and play dolls and girly things with one day (mommy is excited for all our fun girl days too). Brandt, he just calls you baby and he is warming up to you, he tries to make you laugh and I so look forward to the way in which your relationship with him will grow...I am pretty sure you will be best buds. You love them too, and they sure do entertain you, and I'm sure will continue to do so. You love your daddy, and cuddling with him each night too, melts my heart the way he looks at you and you at him.
You are a great eater (pretty sure you've gained a good 2+lbs already! and I am loving the chubby cheeks), and a pretty good sleeper (for a newborn). You are very content when you are awake, very alert, a lot like your biggest brother, which makes naps interesting if we don't catch you at the right time, but I love that you love to see the world around you...I wonder what you are thinking. You LOVE the Christmas tree with all the lights, something so magical about having a newborn at Christmas time...I am excited for next year when you get to really enjoy it! You are strong too...already hold your head so well!
You are truly an angel baby, and we are so grateful to the Lord for protecting you and growing you this past month, and for giving us the privilege of calling you ours. We can't wait to watch you continue to grow and are so excited to see your little personality come out! We love you Brynn Everly, more than we could every express. We pray that your heart would come to love and know Jesus and that your life would bring Him so much glory! XOXO
