Hello little one!
Look closely - can you see the dimples? Thanks Daddy! Thanks to mom she'll always have to color her eyebrows and wear mascara with those blond eyelashes and brows:)
Beautiful blond. Or is it red? Or is it... You make the call!
First visitors and shot of REALLY blond hair!:)
First family picture. We have TWO kids?! CRAZY!
Like Kevin mentioned, my labor lasted less than 4 hours. All of you wonderful women who are pregnant right now - I wish the same on you! After having a pretty horrible experience delivering Emery, I was terrified to do the whole thing over again. I just had to keep telling myself that it couldn't be worse. It was night and day, world's apart, and a million times better than the first delivery. I went from 3 and half hours of pushing for Emery down to two. Not two hours...two pushes!!! I went from a non-existent epidural to a very powerful one. I went from an incompetent nursing staff to world-class doctors and RN's. I felt pampered and taken care of. It was WONDERFUL. Recovery has been better too, even with a tear and episiotomy (sp?). Breast feeding has already gotten better and Jane is healthy. She even let me sleep for two four hour stints last night! We have had so much help with Emery that I haven't had to deal with both of them by myself yet.
Needless to say, I am a happy mamma!
Kevin has been so great. He has responded to my every becon-call. Yes, even the one to go pick up a new nursing bra! I dare say that there are only a select few husbands that would do that! He has done laundry, dishes, bathed Emery and showered me with sweet treats and love. I love him so much and give him The Ultimate Dad and Husband Award!
Emery has been really good too. Outside the normal two-year-old tantrums, she has been very happy to have Jane home. She calls her baby Jane-j (she puts a "j" sound at the end of many words). I am so excited to watch them become good friends. I was lucky to have a sister born just under me and we are the best of friends. Emery is a good "fetcher":) She knows how to get diapers and wipes and knows where every trash can in the house is located. She is very soft with Jane and loves to count her body parts. We feel so blessed and humbled to have such wonderful children!
Thanks to all for your love, support and gifts!!
