As requested, here are a few photos of our sweet new baby girl. She is beyond precious and her big sisters are borderline obsessed with her. She’s a hungry little nugget and her forehead wrinkles slay me.
Here she is with Steve, minutes old.
And this photo truly captures Avelyn’s joy in meeting her new sister.
We can’t decide who Brinley looks like. I definitely see traces of Karenna in her, but it’s so hard to tell at this stage when all newborns kind of look like tired turtles.
I am working on the birth story and hope to have it ready for tomorrow. Brace yourselves; it’s intense. A one-hour labour is freaking crazy times, you guys.

Shelley’s thoughts:
1) steve has facial hair…it makes him look older. I wonder how amanda feels about that.
2) i LOVE Avelyn’s excitement!!!
3) dear God, what is wrong with that baby’s mouth??? oh, nevermind…it’s a pacifier.
4) I WANT TO COME MEET HER!
She’s GORGEOUS! I love Avelyn’s face at meeting her. And you look AMAZING! Seriously! Can’t wait to hear the birth story.
Yeah, so Steve has a goatee? Cool.
Great, great, great pictures! Avelyn looks thrilled.
I definitely see Karenna in that last picture.
Off to search WestJet for seat sales …
Congrats, she’s truely adorable.
Congrats, I’ve been following you for a few months now. I am due in December and you have been a great inspiration! Thanks for showing me that pregnancy can be beautiful, and for being real about the “not so beautiful” times. (I might have to skip reading the labour story tho…na who am I kidding? I’ll totally read it).
Your family is adorable, and I can tell how much you love them! Congrats again and enjoy!
I agree. Totally Karenna in the last photo. So precious. Love her. Love you. Can’t wait to snuggle her.
avelyn’s face brought tears to my eyes.
you sure know how to make beautiful little girls!
One of my favorite pictures of my sister and I is me sitting in a tiny rocking chair and awkwardly, but so very excitedly! holding Theresa as she is just days old. (Congratulations! again. Sisters are the best.)
She TOTALLY looks like Karenna in that photo. I can’t wait to see her again!
I think she looks like Karenna! And Avelyn’s expression is absolutely precious!!
So happy, congratulations!
That last photo totally reminds me of Karenna! It’ll be neat to see who she grows into :)
The forty week wait is over! So happy for all five of you ;-)
Congratulations!!!!!
She’s beautiful!!
I love that your girls are so excited about their new baby sister.
I agree with the others..she looks like Karenna.
Very beautiful! Congrats to you all!
Wonderful. Wishing you a bucket of blessings, Amanda, Steve, Avelyn, Karenna and Brinley!
I love Avelyn’s face in the second photo! Now that is a thrilled big sister!
She’s GORGEOUS. And I definitely see a lot of Karenna in there.
(And yes, Avelyn is cute, but how great is Steve?!)
I love you and will call you in a few days when (i don’t know if this is really realistic or not), things “slow down”???
ps. I dig steve’s goatee, and Avelyn’s joy made my heart smile.
Hooray for Brinley!!
Congratulations Brown family! Brinley is beautiful, just like her sisters! Hope things are going well :)
Congrats! Brinley is a little cutie. Avelyn’s expressions are awesome, Steve’s beard looks good and you always look crazy good even right after giving birth. Cute family all around! Hope you’re feeling okay.
