The Baby Girl Has Come Home!

We came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and I have loved to see how the boys are interacting with her. Here’s some pictures of the last 36 hours.

The boys were beside themselves when they arrived at the hospital on Monday night. They clamored to see Phoebe and fought who could hold her, when, and for how long. I was excited to see how Zeke reacted. For quite sometime we have been asking the boys what they thought Mum was having. Though both Elijah and Zeke said, “A girl.”, Zeke was less then enthusiastic. He didn’t want a girl because he didn’t want someone in the house that played with Barbies. Well, Zeke has been the most enamored with her thus far. He wants to hold her at all times and stays close by his mother to snatch Phoebe up! 20070613web10.jpg
Zeke wore these gloves while at the hospital and he looked fabulous! 20070613web07.jpg
I think Phoebe’s nose is so cute. Janet caught me giving her an Eskimo kiss.

Here are some pictures from yesterday and today as she continues to look more and more like a girl. The pink onsies and blankies help, I think.

Noah insisted on reading her a story…

    Thank you so much everyone, for the congratulations! We are enjoying our little baby girl so much. Even her cry is so girly and sweet!

    I feel so great! I think I’ve gotten more sleep in the past few un-pregnant nights than I did in my entire last month of pregnancy. Little Phoebe came out knowing her nights from her days, thankfully!

    Jill, I wish so much that we had better photo’s of Elijah and Zeke, but they were born before the digital era, and they’re all really unclear. We’ve been studying them, though, and she has little bits and pieces of them all, and a unique look of her own. She changes in her looks everyday, so we’ll have to get some more photo’s up soon.
