Welcoming Brooklyn Maree Nelson into our Family

She may have been born 5 days late, but the wait was well worth it! On Friday, April 24, 2009, at 7:05 in the morning, Brooklyn Maree Nelson was born. She was 7 lbs and 21 inches and the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Brian and I were so excited, it's hard to believe that she is really ours. We came home from the hospital on Sunday morning, and welcomed her into her new home. Now, we're just trying to learn how to take care of a newborn, and it's been a blast.
She has been such a good baby, rarely cries, sleeps good, eats good..... practically perfect in every way. We have had a few exciting experiences already. Giving her her first bath was so fun. She may not have liked it as much as we did :) And then there was the diaper the other day.... as I was changing the poopy diaper, she starts pooping again!! Pretty nasty... lets just say poop was everywhere! I guess thats what comes along with a newborn... and my job as a mom now is to clean it up... that could take some getting used to. Overall, things are great.
I'm not very good with words, and I've never been a blog person, so sorry if I bore the readers... but hopefully I'll get better at this soon. In the meantime, you can at least enjoy the pictures!

Over and over and over, we've been asked the common question "do you have a blog?" and we've always answered "No," until now....now our answer is "Yes." Cool huh? Now we can be cool just like all of our friends. We're going to post things...and write things...and post things...and write things...and man, you guys are going to love it.

So I'll take a second and catch you up to our current life status. We're living in Provo, UT. I work in Springville doing accounting and selling insurance. Kellie is pregnant and wants to give birth right this second...but can't. She's due in a week from today. Also, she's graduating from BYU in about week. We just returned from Bountiful where we went to my parents for easter for the weekend. Up in Bountiful my Dad hides eggs each Easter that have money in them. usually I come back with $20 or $30 dollars, this year $1. I'm getting old and can't compete agaist the younger generation anymore. But we love Easter, and love what it represents.

As you can tell by now, I'm not a writer. So I'm going to stop there and try to put some pictures up.
