In the life of Brynn, she has discovered that she can sleep on her belly since she can roll over... so she has kind of been sleeping on her side/ belly. She is so alert and interested in her surroundings. She loves grabbing at Kolby and Maia, and they don't seem to mind :) I also started trying to give her rice cereal. A common theme in my posts is her not wanting a bottle, so I am hoping she will become more interested in solids soon! I wasn't planning on trying until 6 months, but I am desperate for some time for me-- a night out with Dan-- and me not worrying about her being starving while I am away. She is NOT interested in the cereal. It is a fight to try and get her to eat it. Once it goes in her mouth, it is ok, but she doesn't want the spoon in her mouth.
We also won a contest on facebook through Cassie Hop Photography! I coudln't believe it. At one point I wanted to give up since we were down by like 50 votes, but us Murphy girls are competitive. With the help of a lot of friends, and a lot of friends of my friends... we won! We will be able to have 6 month pictures of Brynn taken, and get $200 worth of free prints! I can't wait to see them, because all of her pictures on her website are amazing. Thanks again to all of our friends and family who helped.
I am officially down to pre-Brynn weight! I have about 10-15 pounds to go to get to where I was before I was pregnant with Elizabeth. COnsidering it hasn't been 6 months yet, I am happy with where I am at.
I have had a lot of time to think about going back to work in the fall... and I think I am going to be ok with it. I say that now, but come August, I may feel differently. I know Brynn will be in good hands, and I really miss teaching and my awesome teacher freinds. I know life will be a lot harder-- Brynn will need more attention-- eating solids and stuff, crawling all over, and I will have to keep the house clean while working full time. It will be an adjustment but I think I will be ok (I hope). I am just so thankful to have this time off with Brynn that I have had.
I started physical therapy last week to help with my pelvic pain in hopes to getting to play soccer soon and run. As I expected, my whole body is messed up. So, I need to make sure I do a good job doing the stretches I am supposed to do to help myself feel better.
Shannon's wedding is in less than a week! I can't wait-- it is going to be so fun :o) I am also looking forward to getting all dressed up, too. I haven't done that in a while! I am also hoping Brynn is good that day. She usually is, so hoping Saturday is no different. I do have a nasty sinus cold going on right now, so I am hoping she doesn't get that, because with my luck, she will get it so she is sick next weekend.
I always think of things I want to write in my blog, and then I forget... so I am hoping I remembered most of the stuff I wanted to say. I will have some more pics to post this week... I need to put some on the computer from the weekend.
We are heading to my parents here in a little bit to celebrate Father's Day. I wish the weather was nicer... we could have taken Brynnie swimming for the first time. So I will end today by saying Happy Father's Day to my dad-- the strongest man I know. What his body and mind have been through over the last 6 years is something I can't imagine dealing with. And of course, my Dan. He is my rock. I know I may annoy him because I am high maintenance in terms of wanting to be around him, but he makes me feel safe and happy. He is the best dad, and can't wait to see him and Brynn do more together as Brynn grows up.
