Brotherly Inspection

Lucas likes to check things out for his little sister! He's such a watch dog!
Yes, this should hold her!
Lucas had to get in the crib with her to check out her view of the mobile!

Happy Birthday Daddy!


Joe had a very low-key birthday last Tuesday. I think he was quite content, though!

Homecoming


A "tork" in our yard that said "I'm a big brother (according to Lucas!)

Kate's coming-home outfit!

We finally got home at about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. We were waiting for the pediatrician. Kate had to come home "on lights" for jaundice. We've had a home-health nurse come the past two days to draw blood and we're waiting to hear about her level today. We went for our first well-check today and she has gained some of her weight back. She was 6lbs. 1oz. on Sunday and today she was 6lbs. 4oz. We'll go again on Monday. We have enjoyed being home. It's so busy with 2. Timing is everything. Lucas went back to school today and we picked him up after Kate's appointment. He had fun telling everyone all about her and showing her picture. A BIG thanks to everyone for gifts, flowers, well-wishes, dinners, and thoughts! I couldn't do it without such wonderful friends and family.

Stealing hearts already



Baby Kate

Lucas meets baby Kate


After all the anticipation, Lucas was so exctited to meet "baby sister". We had purchased and wrapped a striped blankie like his only pink to give to her when she was born. Baby Kate had gotten him a harmonica (I know I'm crazy) and a book. When he met her he immediately wanted to hold her and give her a kiss. He couldn't believe my belly was gone. It was one of those priceless moments that a mommy will never forget!
