Brinley's First Week of Life!!

Well, Brinley has had a fairly eventful first week in our home. Friends and family have come to see her and she is continuing to develop a regular eating/sleeping routine. She is just amazing, truly a blessing in our lives. She has been so patient with both Mike and I as we continue to learn and become more efficient in nurturing her. I feel she is so close to the spirit, and on more than one occasion, she has been an answer to my prayers. Anyways, here are some highlights this week!

Brinley and I took my parent's dog, Sarg, out to go to the bathroom. Then Sarg nearly attacked and chased down the mailman. I had to quickly give Brinley to the girls upstairs and run down the dog. Luckily, Sarg wasn't hit by a car on the way back. The rest of the afternoon Sarg continued to bark. Brinley, the champ, slept through the whole thing! I wished I could have done the same.

Brinley discovered that sunlight is much to bright for her little eyes, but she still enjoys going outside.

Brinley's first bath. She got a little cold and shivered a bit. My dad said she would cry.. but Brinley proved him wrong! :)
