Healing from my C-Section has been a slow process. It's amazing how quickly I forget just how painful it is. My parents and older sister came out to help me during the first week and a half and I don't know how I would have survived without them. Unfortunately, my help had to leave the day I ran out of Percocet. The was the day I realized I really wasn't doing as well as I thought. But, each day gets a little easier. Ethan and Hayley are amazing with Brooklyn. Hayley can't walk by her without covering her in kisses. She also loves to layer her in blankets. There is nothing that brings me more joy than watching them adore her. Here's a few pictures..

Snuggling with Aunt Lisa. She's flown many miles to help me at every one of my kids birth's. Thanks so much sis!

I am so sorry for all the pain from the c-section. I wish I could be there to help out. That's awesome that Brooklyn is such a good baby, though. At least you don't have a fussy one to make things harder with the pain. And I know what you mean about the gums!! Oh my gosh, Madelyn would bite me with them and I would ache for 20 minutes after. It was almost worse than teeth. I hope you get feeling better soon. We'll keep you in our prayers.
Simply beautiful! Good luck, hang in there...
I love her dark hair. Keep posting more pics. They grow up and change so fast!
Wow, she is just beautiful! Congrats on another adorable child. I loved the video, thanks for making my eyes water! so cute. HOpe you are healing well and three kids are treating you good. we miss you
2 weeks!?! I can't believe it has gone by so quickly--and slowly. You are great Janell. Keep your chin up, it will only get better from here. Give Brooklyn a kiss from us.
Jeff and Janell you make such cute kids. I will buy your next on ok. I am sorry that you hert. I wish that I could be there to help you. I miss you and your kids tons. I want to give them lots of hugs and kisses. LOVE YOU
Simply beautiful!
Unfair ~ you get to hug and kiss all of them everyday! Wish we ALL lived in one big house that had a special room for Papa and Nanna, (per Hayley) to spend all of our hours playing with ALL of our cute G-kids, (doesn't hurt to dream). We love you Opie Eyes.......just please don't bite mommy anymore, 'k?
your kids are just all so stinkin cute. i just got back from our yellowstone trip and we went through rexburg. the temple there is so pretty and huge! the city has changed so much, but of course, it brought back memories. the time is flying by and now we both have kids! it is so wierd to think how 9 months changes our whole lives and our whole world. congratulations. brooklyn is beautiful. Beautiful brookie! that is a cute nickname! :)
Of course you survived the first 2 weeks, didn't you know you are a total ROCK STAR!! You are completely the toughest cookie I know!
If these couple weeks were challenging for you, that means it would have killed the likes of me. You are my hero, and inspiration! Thanks for being such a great example of an amazing mom, and how to be an extrodinary friend!
Love ya Ruby Red,

I don't know if you will see this, but upon seeing Ally had her baby, I checked out your blog as well and saw that you have a third. Our third is amazing! She has been a delight from day one. Congratulations! Sounds like you are doing great and I would love to keep in touch with you better.
