Mommy seeing her baby for the 1st time!

Very PROUD Daddy!

Evan, Elly and baby Emmalee

We finally had our baby girl!! We had our scheduled c-section and everything went very well. We were in the hospital from friday until monday, with no problems. The 2 older children were with friends and grandparents, which they really enjoyed. When we got home, things went a lot smoother that we had anticipated.

We were expecting some jealousy issues, as when Elly came to see us in the hospital she wet her pants 2 times in a matter of 30 minutes and would have nothing to do with mommy. Our wonderful Dr. Wehseler warned us that the diapers might have to come back out for a while, he said that sometimes older children will regress when there is a new sibling in a family. We weren't sure if it was of the setting we were in or if it was because at that time we did have a lot of visitors. Anyways, she has been doing much better at home and we are glad the diapers didn't have to be used again since it's only been about a month and a half without them!! She loves to hold her "baby sister"!!

As for Evan, he is the best big brother a baby sister could ask for! He wakes up every morning begging to hold her and goes to nap and bed begging to hold her!! He is also very good now about playing with Elly. He is really enjoying preschool, tomorrow he has his 1st field trip to the Amazin Farmyard!! He is so excited.....mommies a little nervous!!

Joe is absolutely the best father to our children!! He helps me out a lot with the kids and loves coming home to the kids yelling "we missed you daddy!!" I feel kinda bad though, Emmalee is pretty fussy in the evening......but she sleeps all night( I hope I am not jinxing myself). Since she was 6 days old she has been sleeping through the night. I really think that her sleeping so well has really helped me heal faster!!

We are so thankful to be blessed with 3 beautiful children!!
