One Day Old...

This sweet angel already has us smitten.  She has each and every one of us wrapped tightly around her long skinny fingers.  I can't stop looking at her, analyzing each of her features, and laughing at her sweet (and mostly funny) facial expressions.  Finnley is the ultimate big sister.  She loves holding Remmy and has already given her many "presents" from her own collection of goods.  

Dieter is interested in Remmy, but that's about it.  He'd rather sit in my hospital bed, eating cream cheese out of the carton, watching T.V.  He's trying his hardest to be soft and sweet, but every once in a while the 2 1/2 year old boy comes out of him and he almost head butt's her.  We'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

This angel lady has been taking care of my two oldest (how weird is it to say that!).  She scooped them up and took them down south so Mitch and I could have some quiet bonding time with our little lady.  It has been sooo nice, and I've loved napping with my sweet angel on my chest and waking up late.  I do miss my other two and look forward to seeing them today!  Did I mention she skipped out on a trip to Costa Rica with rest of my adult family!?  I know...a total mixture of feeling extra special and extra guilty.  But she swears she'd rather be here doing what she's doing, so I'm going to choose to believe her. ;)

We are loving having this special spirit in our home.  I am trying to have a positive attitude about the many middle-of-the-night wake-up calls, and remembering how fortunate I am to have another baby join our family.  Although I haven't pulled out my camera as much as I'd like, I'll try and add more photos soon.
