The first couple days... Hospital time...

To be honest the hospital stay was a little over-whelming for me this time around... maybe because of laboring all night, delievering at 5AM and then staying up all the next day... maybe because I was SO anxious about seeing Minnie and wanting to make sure that I was not looking "too scary" for her :) It was nice to have the distraction of visitors though and I know they were all SO excited to meet her :)

some of the "waiting room" :) there is a whole other view of people you can't even SEE :) We are LOVED.

Telling her to get ready to meet her "Big Sister" and trying to keep it together...I had HUGE expectations for this moment and looking at my pics thanks to BIL L it did NOT disappoint... I am THRILLED with the moments he captured and these are memories I will never forget...

TiTi and Uncle L had brought Minnie a few weeks ago to "Build a Bear" for Baby Sister so she had it with her to give to the new addition...

NO idea what is so funny but I LOVE this shot :)

The part I should have anticipated... my girl wanted NOTHING to do with me being in a BED. I should have moved to the couch before she came in but once we did she was JUST fine...

is there ANYTHING sweeter?

"Meeting" TiTi

and the competition starts early... they both try to get my girls to say THEIR name FIRST :)

COUSINS....

My chubby cheek girl :) Poor thing... I was going to nickname her "Buttercup" but I think with all her bruising she'll be "Black Eyed Susan" instead... :)
