A few hours after Bridger was born, Nate went to get Brynlee and Gracen so they could come and meet the new baby. They walked into the room very quietly looking around. Once they spotted him, they came right over.
We asked them if they thought we had a boy or a girl. He was wearing that little blue hat, and Brynlee still was thinking it was a girl. Once Gracen saw the hat he said, "Nuh-uh, it's a boy, see that blue hat!" Brynlee still insisted it was a girl.
Nate picked up Bridger and sat in a chair and had both kids go stand by him while he told them they have a new baby brother. It took it a minute for it to sink in with Brynlee.
Here is a video with their reactions. If you make it to the end of the video, you'll see Brynlee's reaction when she finally gets that it is a boy...
She cried....
I blame Nate for Brynlee's disappointment! He was so convinced that he saw girl parts at some point during the ultrasound, that he kept saying it was a girl. He had a lot of people convinced it was a girl. I had to keep reminding him and Brynlee that it might be a boy!
Gracen kept telling everyone, "I was right and Daddy was wrong!"
It didn't take her long to fall in love with this little guy!
Gracen loves having a baby brother!
Holding him the day after he was born.
This is the outfit Gracen chose for Bridger to wear home from the hospital.
Brynlee and Gracen seem to be adjusting well to having Bridger in our family.
Gracen just keeps telling me he loves baby brother, and he is very helpful if I ask him for anything for his brother. He has been so good with Bridger, and mostly just leaves him alone! I love it that I don't have to constantly be telling him to give him space or stay back. He gives his brother just the right amount of attention!
Brynlee loves to hold him and look at him! She has been a bit jealous of him on occasion, which I wonder if it is because of him being a boy more than anything else. But, she still loves him and keeps saying how cute he is and is a big help to me when she is home from school!

I love Brynlee's reaction when she figured it out on the video. That was priceless. You have three adorable children that's for sure. Hope you're adjusting well to three.
That is so sad for Brynlee. He is really cute and I am glad that you are all doing well.
Oh, so very cute!
I love Brynlee's face when she finally figures out she has another brother! So precious! Congratulations again on such a beautiful addition to your family!
I love when the brothers are sweet to the babies. Poor Brynlee...at some point she may realize that she can mother him like a doll though. I wonder which is worse?
