Rash has been Brianna's enemy for the last week. She is very irritated by it and I'm irritated just looking at it. It drives me crazy to see her pretty little face smothered with this awful rash. Below is a picture that was taken today and we were headed out the door to the M.D.s office. I was told that the rash is normal and occurs in infants. The doctor also said that it should be gone by this weekend, which I doubt. Madison was 6 weeks old when she had the exact same looking rash and her pediatrician said it was due to asthma, allergies and prescribed her an ointment. So I'm going to look more into this 'normal' rash because it looks terrible. But she now weighs 10 lbs. 6 oz. and has only grown 3/4 inches.
This is what Bree looked like 4 days ago. Everyday, she gets more rash on her face. Above is her 'life is tough' expression. :0)
I told my sister, Victoria, that I would post a picture of Brianna's bedding. She loves to sleep in her crib. At first, we were utilizing her pack-n-play/ bassinet, which she liked to sleep in. One night, Jon decided to put her on her crib mattress and she slept for a long time. So she now cries when we put her in her pack-n-play.
This past weekend, my brother in-law, Jeff, and his girlfriend Whitney came to visit and slept over at our house. It was really nice to see them and I'm glad they got to meet Brianna. Maddie had a good time playing and being silly with Uncle Jeff. Below, Bree is sound a sleep in Jeff's arms. He is definitely hired for baby duty.

Tummy Time & Sister Bonding
Finally, I have some time to post a few pictures of my gorgeous girls. Madison has been adjusting great to all the new changes that have occurred since Brianna has arrived. She is without a doubt an AWESOME big sister. She has not shown any negativity towards Bree and always wants to help. When Bree cries, she is at her beckon call trying to soothe her and help her to calm down. She told me that since she is my sweetheart, Brianna is now her sweetheart. Brianna's eyes follow Maddie everywhere she goes.
Brianna is 3 weeks old today. Her features have changed but not too much. She LOVES to eat and is a pretty good sleeper. She has had a few fussy days but overall, Bree is a good baby. When she was first born, she looked a lot like Maddie with the exception of her dark hair and her skin is tanned. I still think she looks like Maddie but has her own look to her as well. I think she is going to be more tanned than Madison but not as dark as me. As for her eyes, we're still waiting to see what color they'll be. When Madison was born, her eyes were so dark but when she turned 3 months old, she got her blue eyes. So we'll have to see what's in store for Brianna. I posted a few pictures of the girls. Enjoy.
It's hard for me to catch Brianna awake. She's asleep in most of the pictures I have of her. I just love her chubby cheeks.
Brianna likes to lay on Maddie's bed. Sometimes when she's fussy, I go lay her with Maddie and she stops crying.
Bree wasn't in the mood for tummy time. She's usually content because she likes to be on her tummy but she wasn't having it yesterday. Big sister Maddie is giving her words of encouragement. :0)
Maddie is always playing the guitar for Brianna especially when she is being fussy. She makes up lullabies to sing to her baby sister. As you can see, Bree is sound asleep. Thanks Maddie. Below is a picture of my princess.
