A smooth and safe delivery. Here we are, seconds after she was born, tears in both our eyes.
Patiently being ‘tortured’ by the nurses
What a
beautiful complexion she has!

I’ve been waiting a long time to put this pink gown on her

Jackson was asleep when we left to go to the hospital. He was a little surprised to wake up and find us gone. The shock of all that was happening was overwhelming. He was very clingy and cuddly when he came to see us at the hospital. My poor little Jackson! This may be a difficult transition for him. We will have to love him through it.

Miriam – wide awake and very alert! She scored 9s on her apgar test

Healthy girl!

Our beautiful view from the hospital. It was really cool all lit up at night too. We slept with the windows open and enjoyed watching sunset and sunrise.

When we got home, we celebrated Miriam’s birthday with a cookie cake that we had made and frozen. Then the boys gave her a gift – her pink camoflauge blanket (Caleb’s idea
And we gave each of the boys a gift too
Caleb got a velcro ball set
Jackson got a fireman rubber duckie for the tub
Caleb wants to hold her all the time! He plays “pat a caker’s man” with her and tickles her…she is very patient with both of the boys and they both are very excited about her.
