I totally forgot to post about our strange hospital experience when Brynley was born. First off we checked in at 11:45p on the 9th of January. It's the best time to have a baby. No one was there! We were the only ones on the floor! So after check in we head up to labor and delivery, where the coolest nurse says, "You must be the McDowell's, I heard you are some crazy Duck fans, and you have to have this baby before game time tomorrow!" Most of you remember that she was born on 1/10/11 which was the National Championship Game.
Anyway, this totally awesome nurse was only on until 8am and then we would get a whole new set of nurses. Well the next nurse was named Judy and she actually graduated from the University of Oregon back in the late 60's ( I think, seeing as how she wanted to have a conversation with me while I was in horrible pain and trying to get my epidural!) So we had a Duck fan on our side, seeing how most people here like the Boise State Donkey's!
Moving on................... as the morning went on and Brynley was getting closer someone kept calling me Amy?? Hmmmm. Maybe it was just a mistake. Again I was totally consumed in pain since the epidural didn't do it's job. Then I heard it again, "Amy, how are you doing?" Was this lady in the wrong room?? No it was our nurse Judy! She thought my name was Amy. So during the 10 minutes of pushing, she called me Amy again. So Travis was saying Ann trying to convince this lady and fellow alum that I was not Amy. Then my doctor started calling me Amy, WHAT! Then he realized what he said and corrected himself.
So after Brynley was born, Travis, Brynley and myself all got our hospital bracelets. I looked down and noticed that it said AMY McDOWELL!!! All three of them said it! Good thing my official bracelet said Ann. Or they may have not let us bring her home!!! We just laughed and put it off. Later that day Judy started calling me Ann again and all was well.
It's a story for the baby book or in my case the blog! And a fun memory was made!

This is Brynley's new favorite past time! She love to watch the t.v! She will lay there and kick her feet and "talk" to whatever is on! Lately it's been basketball!
In other news, Brynley is now at 10lbs 2 oz!!! After a week on acid reflux meds and fatty formula along with nursing she gained a pound in one week! Then another 5 oz in 4 days!! So now she is in the 25% instead of 10th % for her age and weight!!

Brynly is such a doll! Good work Amy, OH I MEAN ANN! That is so funny. You dealt with it better than me I would have been correcting in between pushes :)
Funny story Ann. I had Judy too when I had Wisdom.
Brynly is looking adorable! Don't you love the TV watching babies! And that's awesome that she's putting on some weight!
