Update!

Well turns out I am not any better updating this thing for Matt (oops!). Luckily Matt was able to come home for Thanksgiving weekend and spend some quality time with me and Brynlee. It was so fun to have him back even if it is only for a short time. We had so much fun while Matt was home and Brynlee must miss him a ton because she has been an unhappy little girl ever since he left. We spent Thanksgiving day with Matts family and the rest of the weekend just hungout, watched movies, went bowling, went on a date! It was a really good weekend. Only 24 more days until he comes home for Christmas break!



Brynlee is growing so big! She is currently working on getting her bottom front tooth but it doesnt seem to bug her too much. She is also perfecting her crawl, at first she would only crawl to a treat or toy but now she crawls wherever she wants. It is so fun to watch her learn new things, she is such a smart little lady. She also love to growl, ALL THE TIME, but especially when she is drinking her bottle! It is the funniest thing I have ever heard. This little girl is going to have quite a personality she already wants to do things herself and doesnt like when you grab her arms, she jerks them away fast. Brynlee LOVES her food I have not found anything she doesnt like yet (maybe on the first try but after that she LOVES it) most of the time she makes it obvious I am not feeding her fast enough by growling at me. Brynlee is also becoming a great little sleeper (after ALOT of HARD work and many many sleepless nights) It took over a month but Brynlee now sleeps from about 7 at night to around 8 in the morning only getting up once to eat and then she goes right back down. Lets just say this has been amazing for both of us. I can tell she is a much happier baby when she is getting good sleep and I am happier with more sleep also. Brynlee loves reading books she will sit in my lap and read 3 or 4 books with me everynight sometimes even more! Brynlee is such a blessing in our lives and we love her so much. Matt and I are always saying that she is the best thing that has every happened to us and I cannot imagine our lives without her. We love her so so much!

Brynlee's almost 7 months old!

We can't believe that our little angel is almost 7 months old!! She is growing so well and we love her so much. Here are just a few of our favorite pictures of our little munchin!

Update!

Well it has been a seriously long time since I have updated our blog. Brynlee is doing awesome! At her four month appointment she weighed 15 pounds exactly (88%) 25 1/2 inches long (90%) and 75% for her head size but I cant remember the cm. She is now rolling over but mostly only rolls from her back to her tummy but will occasionally go back onto her back. She is getting so big and getting so smart. It is so fun to see her learn new things she is the best thing in our lives we love her so much.

We have officially moved back to Utah and Matt gets to stay with us until September 6th, then he flies to Texas until December. We loved living in Monterey! It is such a beautiful place and we had some really fun friends there who I will miss a ton! Matt did so awesome in his class in Monterey. He got a 3-3 on the final test which is the best you can get and graduated with a 4.0. He gave a little speech at graduation which was fun to see. My parents and little brothers were able to come down for his graduation and we went with them to point lobos which is a really beautiful area with a bunch of different hikes. We also went whale watching which was fun, we didn't see any whales but it was still fun to be out on the ocean and we saw a lot of jelly fish. I also have a video from when me, matt and Brynlee went to wild things which is a place with elephants and big cats mostly. Me and Brynlee got to feed the elephants which was so much fun!

Anyways I will be keeping my blog more up to date now that I have the internet and then Matt can check our blog from Texas to see pictures of Brynlee.

Brynlee Ellen Bybee

Our little girl finally arrived! She weighs 7 lbs. 1 oz. and measures 20.5 inches. Today has been an amazing day and one that we will never forget. It is hard for us to be away from our family, but we know that they love us and support us so much. We are also very fortunate to have the church in our lives because members of the ward here in Monterey are already helping us out. Everything is going well. We are very blessed.

I am 39 weeks tomorrow and SO ready to have this baby girl. I am so excited but still nervous for delivery. My doctor said it could be any day now and she wouldnt be surprised if I have her sometime this weekend! I hope she is right! Anyways in the mean time I made some little girl booties and took some pictures (mostly to show Jenni) I am sure all 3 of you that read my blog are sick of baby projects but they are just so fun! Anyways hopefully my next post is pictures of our little girl!

Baby Stuff.

Well I finally finished a couple of the projects I have been wanting to do. The lamp shade did not turn out the way I wanted it to but after putting in the money and time I figured I better not throw it out haha. I got the idea from a really cute lamp shade on pottery barn kids but I wish I would have chosen a smaller lamp shade. Also the flowers I ordered are really peach, when I ordered them online they looked more pink than peach. I should have just returned them and got the color I really wanted but I got too anxious to start. Oh well it looks okay. Also I have been wanting to make a car seat canopy so I found some fabric I liked on sale! I am also making one for Jenni and Jill and I love the fabric I found for theirs, I hope they like it to :) Anyways nothing really new here just waiting for this little girl to get here but it will probably still be a couple weeks, last time I went to the doctor they estimated she was only 5 lbs and I would like her to be bigger than that so I guess we can wait a little longer.

Our Baby Room!

Well this past weekend we finished painting the crib and re-doing the dresser. We painted the crib pink and the dresser white with pink on the insides of the drawers and this really cute pink contact paper. I took some pictures but they really don't do the dresser justice, Matt did an awesome job painting it and the knobs are SO CUTE! Also I am loving the crib! I still need to find a lamp shade for the lamp by the crib and finish adding flowers to the lamp shade on the table so the room is not quite done yet but it is getting close.








Here are some pictures of the room pretty must put together and pictures of the rest of our new apartment.











Last but not least here is the lastest belly pic. This is me at 34 weeks, getting pretty huge I know. A nice woman at target the other day told me I must have one big baby to have such a big belly haha! Then she went on to tell me how the doctor stole her last baby so I need to keep a good eye on my baby so she doesn't get stolen...

Changes!

Well as most of you have heard I am moving down to Monterey California to join Matthew. It has been an interesting last couple weeks to say the least. I am moving this Friday. I am really excited to be moving down there with him! It will be nice to be together and now we know for sure he will be there when the baby is born and for the few months following! I found us an apartment down there and it is pretty cool...wood paneling on EVERY SINGLE WALL!!! It will be awesome haha! Also I am having my baby shower this Thursday which will be fun, if you didnt get your invite it is because it has been a mad house and I only found out I was moving a week ago. It is at my moms house is South Jordan at 7 on Thursday. I also had a couple invites returned to me so I will try to give you a call. I was going to put up a belly picture because I am now the big 30 weeks! BUT my camera and cords are already packed so that will have to wait. Anyways I hope all is well with everyone else. Wish me luck on my 13 hour drive!!

Need Advice.

So I have been looking for a diaper bag. They can be sooo expensive! I am having a hard time spending so much for a diaper bag. One that I really like it the Petunia Pickle one, there is a picture below. It seems very functional but is $89! Not sure I want to spend that much but I would hope it would last for all of my babies. Anyways the question is do you think spending that much on a diaper bag is ridiculous? I have been kind of looking around and it doesn't seem like that much more than diaper bags at target and other places. So for you mommies out there any advice on what diapers bags are good and where to look? THANKS!

28 Weeks!

Well I am 28 weeks along as of yesterday. I feel like I am so big now. I can feel my little girl kicking more and more all the time. It is a really cool feeling. I got to talk to Matt on the phone today which was nice. I didnt get to talk to him very long but anything is better than nothing I guess. He gets his phone back next Wednesday so we should be able to talk a lot more then. My schooling is going well, it keeps me busy. My job is okay they are starting to let more people go so we will see how long it lasts (I am a temp, Matt says not to worry but I am a worry wart. Anyways everything is going really well with me, Matt and our baby girl. Hope everything is going well for you.

Vacation

Well I am finally going to add some pictures from our cruise (we went back in October). We had so much fun! I am not going to say what each picture is cause that takes too long! Enjoy and happy Sunday!
