Brinkley Peterson






I just thought I would give everyone an update really quick, before I head off to the hospital. Brinkley made her arrival early Sunday morning, June 8th, 2008. She weighed 6 lbs 11 oz & was 19 & 1/2 in long. She has a ton of black hair...but her eye brows are light...so my guess is she will have blonde hair.

She is in the NICU right now...she was three weeks early, so her lungs aren't fully developed. She is doing really well...she is off oxygen & starting to take bottles. Its been hard not having her home with us...but I am trying to look on the bright side...at least I have been able to get some good sleep. I am so thankful for everyone who has helped with the boys & brought us meals...hopefully she will be home Thursday or Friday!!!

She is absolutely beautiful. I saw your mom last night and she told me the news. I can't believe how quickly it all happened. I am glad to hear she is doing better and hopefully will be home this week. I can't wait to see her. Can I take your boys from you on Saturday? Bradock would love the company and I bet you could use some time alone with Brinkley.

We love you Katie & Layne. What a sweet spirit and how blessed she is too be part of your eternal family. I wish I were there to help. I can't wait until she is home with you...All our love love love - Grant & Amy & kiddos

(Conner is bragging to everyone that he is going to be the first one to see her since he is coming to AZ next month! And Abigail just keeps saying, "Thank goodness that I have one more girl cousin" - pretty cute. Conner is so excited to see the boys!)

She is so pretty Katie, congratulations! Emma was 2 weeks early and she was the same size but it was a whole pound lighter than Tristan so she was a piece of cake. I am so excited for you to have a girl finally!!

Oh Katie she is beautiful! I think she might be a combination of all your boys in one! I'm sorry you've had to go back and forth but it's for the better of course. I can't wait to see her and i hope she'll be home sooner than later!
