Joslin Ann

We are haning out at the hospital waiting to hear from the doc so I thought I would post some pics. First we have Meredeith and Joslin. Both the girls really wanted to hold the baby and they both did a great job. Meredeith did keep sliding off the chair but she did great.

Aunt Laura did not actually get to hold the baby after the birth. She stuck around for a little bit but had to hit the road before she got a turn. Finally yesterday she got to hold the baby. Shortly after snuggling in with her Laura said "We need a baby. We need a dog and a baby."

Madeline and the baby. Madeline had to cover her sparkly shirt since the baby wasn't too keen on the sparkles. Once the cloth went over the shirt the two of them sat rather nicely together.

Under the bili lights. This little bili-bed is not Joslin's favorite place to be. Who can blame her? She would rather be snuggled in someone's arms or swaddled up. We do have another bili light to use when nursing but she gets more coverage in the little bed. We think she looks rather cool in her shades!

Happy Birthday Joslin! Can you tell Patrick was excited to hold his little sister? He got to come back to see her about an hour after she was born and could not wait to hold her. He already wants to burp her and give her a bath all by himself.

Mommy getting some Patrick love!

So that's what I have got so far. We are hoping to head home today but have to wait on the doc and see what he says about the jaundice. We are so thankful to have our families here to help out and feel very blessed to have this new little addition in our lives. Let the adventures begin!

Oh yeah- In case you didn't hear Joslin Ann was born April 8 at 5:46 pm. 9 pounds 11 ounces adnd 21.5 inches long. Dr. Sullivan said if we have another one there is no way he is letting me go to 41 weeks. That is a big baby! And we love every bit of her already!
