Aunt Patti is very proud she has another neice!

So tiny in her car seat and her come home outfit. Aunt Patti helped mom get Brooke ready for the ride home!

My favorite photo of me and my new baby girl Brooke Marie Bresnan.

Aunt Patti gives Brooke her last bottle before we leave the hospital.
Dear Pat,

We hope you have a wonderful birthday. Lindsay, Brooke, Mike and I love you so much. Thank you for always being there for us. Especially, little did we know 31/2 weeks later you really had to be there for us. Not with much choice. You were such a prominent part of saving my life so I could get back to enjoying my two babies!

Love your baby sister, Mike and the girls!

Flashback to July 15, 2008

Homecoming Day for Brooke-I had these set up to put on the blog and never got to do it. I felt the need to finish off the cycle of Brooke's hosptial days and her homecoming day so here it is... Aunt Patti got Brooke dressed and ready so we could take photos
Daddy tried to get some good shots in the homecoming outfit
Thanks Missy for finding this outfit and sweet booties for her
This is one of my fave shots of me and Brooke
I was amazed at how tiny she looked in the car seat!
Check out that pose...she still is so funny with her poses
YAY Aunt Patti is helping us get discharged and home!
Momma and baby girl heading out finally!
We checked in on Donna at work on the way out the door

Proud new parents...again!

We stopped at the daycare on the way home and let everyone come check Brooke out in the car.
They were awesome to put up a sign announcing Lindsay was a big sis even though she wasn't still attending school at the time! They've been phenominal to us throughout everything too.
I wanted to take this photo but Brooke wasn't in the mood...
