Brooklyn Sue Gillaspie

Brooklyn is here! She is so precious and we are completely obsessed with her! Please be prepared for complete picture overload!

We checked into the hospital at 8pm Thursday evening to begin the induction process. I was already contracting every 4 minutes and didn't even know it! At 7am the next morning, the doctor broke my water and after that it was a LONG waiting game. I progressed so slowly.. about a centimeter per hour. We have such an awesome family and everyone waited around at the hospital ALL day waiting to meet Miss Brooklyn!




The boys checkin' in on Brooke's heart monitor :)

Finally, at 9:57pm the doctor came in and informed us it was time to start pushing. We did a practice push and he quickly told me to stop as he put on his scrubs and the nurses hurried to get the room ready for delivery. One push later, Brooklyn made her arrival on November 14, 2014 at 10:10pm, weighing 7lbs and 7oz, 21 inches! It was such an amazing experience seeing her for the first time. She was so alert and calm just taking everything in. She is such a blessing and we are completely smitten with her! It seems as though she changes every time I look at her, which would explain why I mostly spend my days just staring at her. She is a little miracle and our hearts are forever changed.
 









Cole is upset here because he wasn't the one holding Brooke!

..and now he is happy as can be! Sweet big cousins :)


Her little outfit to come home in. It completely swallowed her!! Ha!



Proud dad!










This was just a couple hours after Brooke arrived. We were waiting to move to our new room and these two were exhausted after a long day!



 
 
We are so blessed. This little girl is so loved.
