After my epidural and very shortly before Charlotte arrived, the kids got to come visit. I think they were a little nervous and not sure what to think. They were keeping their distance from me until I told them it was ok to come give me hugs and take a pic.
7lbs 6.7oz, 19 3/4in long and perfect in every way!!!!
Hi baby girl!!!! We've been waiting 9 mos to meet you!
Proud daddy!
The kids were in awe and so excited to meet their baby sister!
TJ was actually giddy with excitement- he giggled when he first saw her. I saw no sign of disappointment that he didn't get the baby brother that he had "ordered" as he says.
After her bath looking so cute.
I always miss feeling them in my belly, but it felt so good to finally be holding her in my arms.
And now Daddy gets to hold her too!
After an extra night in the hospital due to some jaundice related to her blood type being incompatible with mine and a heart murmur that has resolved, it's finally time to go home. Being in the hospital is tiring! Thank you Aunt April for my adorable going home outfit that fit me so perfectly!
Big sister can not get enough of her.
So in love.
Our first pic as a family of 5!
At home with big sister. Alli always wants to be holding her and gets a little mad when she's not able to.
This girl is a big time snuggle bunny. I like to call her a shoulder monkey cause her favorite place to be is perched on or draped across a shoulder (preferably mine, but daddy's works occasionally too).
More snuggle time with big sis.
...And big bro. TJ thinks this is so funny, but he never lasts very long before he's ready to get up and go play.
1 week old!!!
Such a beautiful little blessing and the perfect addition to our family.God is so good!!!
