Jenn and Brett's Family Blog: Happy Birthday Brenna Bloom Epstein!!!!!!

08.29.08

Happy Birthday Brenna Bloom Epstein!!! She arrived at 4:49 pm weighing 6 lb 1 oz and measuring 18.5 inches. Here is a few of our favorite pictures from the first few days.

Making phone calls and updating facebook telling everyone that I'm officially in labor!

Check out the beautiful birthing suites at Jupiter Medical Center.

Schecky was in town for Labor Day weekend and jokingly said the night before "why don't you go ahead and have the baby since I'll be in town this weekend." We were supposed to have lunch the afternoon I checked into the hospital. It was fun to call her and tell her I had to cancel lunch since I was busy having a baby. :-)

After a relatively smooth labor, here she is! The first thing I noticed was the full head of hair. I always pictured my baby with hair.

Finally I get to hold you.

Such a small baby. The first words out of my mouth when they told me how much she weighed was "God bless women who have 8 and 9 pound babies" because that was TOUGH.

Mom (Grammy) was in the waiting room anxious to come in and meet Brenna.

Such a proud Daddy.

Still can't believe you're here.

Soooo happy.

One of our first family moments.

Grammy and Grandpa Les. Grandpa Les was scared to hold you because you were so small.

Grandma and Grandpa

Somehow I think you'll always have a special relationship with your daddy.

I hope you'll have great friends like Schecky and Colleen.

This is the pic we used for your birth announcement.

Soooo tired.

Uncle Jeff and Aunt Jackie visit.

You arrived early because you didn't want to miss the first game of the 2008 Gators! You saw them take it all the way to the BCS Championship :-)
