I can't believe it has been three weeks since Brenna was born. Time flies by when you aren't continuously tossing your cookies! We are all learning how this sweet baby fits into our lives. Dave is still getting sleep and thinks this baby is the cutest little squish. I am adjusting to the sleep deprivation and all other physical demands that come with a new baby that are best not mentioned here! It is always amazing how you don't really need to make room in your heart to love another child, you just find that you had a capacity that was untapped! It is strong and all consuming and awesome.
Grant is all over Brenna...and I do mean ALL OVER her. He constantly hovers and while I am feeding her, he constantly asks if I am done milking yet... as if I didn't already make that connection in my head with how I feel! He is fascinated by all she does. He discovered my pump and has requested to borrow it for Star Wars because it looks like a space satellite....awesome. He asked me to take the baby somewhere else the other day because couldn't hear his game on the computer...hmmm, so sorry to intrude! Another day,he was giggling as she wrapped her little fingers around his and I told him how she was saying she loved him. He said, "No, she is saying I WILL DESTROY YOU!" Ah, the power of an infant!Katelee has only been kind to the little babe...but she is still figuring out where we all fit. Most days she is even more emotional than ever, which is extreme for our live in drama queen. Here is a glimpse of how she looks most days:
All in all, we are adjusting smoothly and are so happy Brenna is here! Most of the time, I think she enjoys it as well!

3 WEEKS?!?!?! Oh good glory! I still haven't seen your cutie. Now that the colds have left my home, I'll be givin' you a call to swing by if that's okay.
She is so cute. She totally looks like a Petrick right now, she kinda looks like Paige in the last pic. Good luck mommy!
She is beautiful! The adjustment period is a tough one, glad to hear it is going pretty well. I bought the same little outfit with the apple on it for my little one, can't wait for her to wear it. Glad you are doing well.
I can't decide if she looks like Katelee or Grant more. So cute. I love Grants comments--as always and I love the pic of Katelee!
It was great chatting to you the other day--sorry my kid fell and I had to cut it short:)
Glad things are good--it gives me hope for the same!
love ya
LOVE your posts. So glad I have the privilege to read them. Your kids are so cute and entertaining!
She is so beautiful and I wish I could see her in person. We are coming to Utah for about three weeks in August! I know it is far away but I am really excited!
I love the picks! She is so cute and I just can't belive that you have 3 now. WOW how wonderful.
Love the pics Kara!! I can't wait to see her!! I love your drama queen. That picture says it all!! The Grant man never ceases to amaze me with his comments. Glad you are feeling better and enjoying that sweet baby girl!! Love you guys!!
Oh Grant. "No, she is saying I WILL DESTROY YOU!" It made me laugh so hard. I can't imagine having a newborn while caring for the rest of the family as well. When Brian was a newborn, the lack of sleep wasn't that big of a deal because I could just sleep whenever he did the following day. It's a whole different story when there are other kids around!
She is adorable.
I haven't looked in blogs forever. Brenna is soooo sooo sooooo cute. We still need to meet her. When can we come visit? FB me and let me know.
