Big Sis Comes Home!

K came home this week and met A. At first she thought nothing of A, but then she warmed up and I think everything just kinda clicked all of a sudden! K looks after A and is at her side as soon as she makes a peep. I think these two will be great friends as they grow up together. This morning K was up before the rest of us and after waking mommy up and telling daddy "Surprise, Happy New Year!", she asked where sister was and wanted to see her. I thought that was a good sign :)

Welcome to the World Miss A!

We welcomed A$hl@nd Ele@n0r (the symbols are to break the search-ability!) on February 15th @ 2:09 am. She weighed 9 lbs 1 oz and was 21 inches long.
Although she was a "big" baby, it took just two easy pushes and she greeted us with a warm cry. She is doing great. She will be on a Billiruben blanket for at least a day to try to lower her jaundice. We go to the Pediatrician tomorrow to get updates on her stats. She is much calmer and easy going than her big sis- so far at least! :)
K is on vacation at Mom-Mom's and Papa's be spoiled shamelessly! She doesn't quite get the concept yet, so that will be fun to watch that relationship develop!
Thank you to everyone for visits and well wishes! It is much appreciated!
Here are a couple of pictures...

Not yet...

It's pretty simple...we're still waiting. So while you wait because we're waiting because the baby is waiting- here are some pictures.
