The day Brianna was born

7:54am. It was all over. I looked at my new baby girl and my first words were, "She looks like an alien." NICE! I know. But there have to be others that agree with me that babies look like aliens when they first come out, all slimy.

We still didn't have a name. About four hours after she was born Danny walks into my room pushing our girl in her little portable bed and says, "Say hello to Brianna!" WHAT?! I thought he had named her without consulting me but he was giving a suggestion. He was outside the nursery waiting for her when a bunch of kids were walking by on a class field trip. He asked the little girls what their names were and one was Brianna. So my daughter is named after some girl who will never know. It's weird how it just fit her.

Brianna was born 5 pounds, 13 ounces. I remember one of her first days home just staring at her sleeping in her bassinet and crying. She was so tiny and helpless. I had never seen a baby that small before.

I wrote on my facebook status today that Brianna is the most beautiful girl I know, inside and out. She truly is! She love her brothers, she loves her friends, and she loves her toys. She loves to learn, to be read to, doing puzzles, eating sushi, playing soccer (although she does more counting the flowers than actually kicking the ball), doing crafts, fancy dresses, stars wars, dates with her dad, going to Bakersfield to see her cousins, staying the night at grandma and grandpa's, reading the Bible with mom over breakfast, being a princess, meeting new friends, playing video games with uncle Mike, picking flowers, playing Yahtzee, and cuddling.

I am honored that God choose me to be Brianna Christine's mommmy! The last six years have many precious memories. I look forward to a lifetime of more! Happy birthday princess Brianna!
