"This is a story that is often untold, and overlooked. A raw adventure of fighting the elements of illness, as a young wife and mother by seeking Jesus first. Start from the beginning, and see how the Lord can take a very broken and ill individual and bring about a truly unique LIFE and LOVE story." - BRYNN (& Jeremey and Tatum).

Arizona comfort: visiting the Wilson clan for the 1st time!

(I don't have much time to write, my little goob is especially fussy tonight. It's strange because she has been the happiest baby ever recently, but I wanted to put these pictures up before its too late, and she looks totally different again.)

This last weekend, us Wilson 3 went to Arizona to visit the Wilson side for the first time. We warned Tatum that the family was big, busy and often loud, and that it might be quite different for her than the low key environment she is use to. She ended up LOVING it, she was all smiles, and Loved the constant energy and many faces, and entertainment. The cousins had a blast with her, all 11 of them. She is a true blown Wilson, not afraid of people, and Loves to talk! She found her voice this weekend, having full blown conversations with her grandma and aunty! We went to church on Sunday, and she didn't even cry once, what a trooper! Sunday night though I had a very bad attack of vertigo, I ended up collapsing on the floor, we think because of dehydration and lack of sleep. Grandma took care of Tatum though, and she didn't seem phased by the situation at all. For lack of time, I will just write some captions under the pictures. Today she is 9 weeks old, can you believe it???


Aunt Stephanie surprised us with a special gift of many many headbands and flowers and bows made by her. She also made a few shirts for Tatum, one of which she is wearing in these pictures. We call Tatum "T" all the time, probably more often than her real name. Such a cute shirt. Also she is wearing her special Vans that grandma gave her before she was born. I randomly decided to try them on her, and I'm glad I did because she could hardly fit in them, so we had to snag a picture.
I Love this picture, hahaha, little onesie and little vans and little chubby legs!
Couldn't decide which was cuter out of all of these pictures, so I just decided to put a bunch up. I know the Grandmas will appreciate the pictures. Another headband made by Stephanie!



Hahaha. Grandma put her in the pot, and shot a photoshoot of her! She wasn't quite sure what to think.
These pictures of her in her black headband were taken not long after I collapsed, not the fondest memories for me, but I'm glad she came to visit me in bed when I was so sick!

The Dorsey Boys. I Love them so much!
Cousin Micah and Emily Loving on Tatum. Micah Loved her so much, he would grab blankets and pillows for her and prop her up and swing her in the swing. Micah and I have a special bond, so naturally he was in Love with his new baby cousin!
Jeremey goofing off with the Dorsey cousins. We are just missing Emily.
Cousin Amber holding Tatum. She is such a good Love!

Special time with grandma and grandpa. We Love you guys!

In the last 6 weeks ...

Our first family picture!

Hello again. Just wanted to write a quick blog. Tatum is 6 weeks today and she rocks! I have never been more tired in my life ... and I think I have lost nearly all my ability to think rationally.
.. but a friend told me that the first 6 weeks are the hardest. I pray she is right, haha, because boy have they been hard, but I know that every baby and every situation is different. But many aspects that were hard the first few weeks have cleared up, while others begin to surface. I suppose that thats what the life of a mother truly is, and that is where trusting the Lord becomes even more necessary than breathing! In the last 6 weeks ...

- I fell in Love, with a beautiful baby girl, and with my husband all over again.
- Learned how to care for a life more than I care for my own.
- Fought through countless moments of thinking "I can't do this."
- Walked longer and further than I have in 4 years, for the sake of getting my baby fresh air!
- Pushed myself to limits that go beyond my comprehension.
- Experienced Joy, anxiety, sadness and peace all in the same instant, haha.
- Slept ... hardly at all.
- Loved ... a whole lot!
- Learned at such a fast rate that I can't keep my head on straight.
- Lost all track of time, hours, days, months, what year are we in???
- Gone to the urgent care twice.
- Seen smiles and heard "coos" that are irresistible.
- Watched my baby grow out of a majority of her newborn clothes :(
- Taken so many pictures that our hard drives are nearly full!
- Learned to trust the Lord ...

Can't wait to see what the next 6 weeks will bring!
