A Visit from Big Sister and Big Brother!

Again, if you haven't seen the blog today (4/29) then start a couple of posts down and work up for the sequential stories and pics!

So, Sarah and Nathan came over to visit their new baby sister around 2:30 this afternoon. Nathan was pretty uninterested in the whole situation, which is not surprising for a kid who got up about an hour earlier than normal, had not had a nap and had been playing voraciously at friend's homes since about 8 am. So, below are the best pics we could conjure up with him and Jane in the same picture. It'll be an adjustment, but fortunately he and Sarah are great pals and if he picks up on how his big sis adores his new li'l sis, he should be fine.

When we asked him if he wanted to hold, hug, or kiss baby Jane, he would just say "NO!" and tried to avoid pictures on several occasions... we were able to get these two with him smiling in close proximity to Jane... it's a miracle!

Sarah, on the other hand, was absolutely ecstatic! She would hold Jane for a while and then want a break and then a couple minutes later she would want to hold her again. She did a phenomenal job holding and supporting her newborn-noodle-neck. She would rock back and forth while holding her and sang "Away in a Manger" to her. She is so excited for Jane to come home and to sleep in the same room with her... though we'll see how that goes. There couldn't be a more excited Big Sis right now. Below are a number of good pics of Sarah holding her sister Jane. Also, so I don't have to blog about it later. Sarah got a new haircut and she sure looks cute in it! The pics we have here are just as good as the ones that we tried to take of her haircut the other day, so here you go.


Jane is so cute with her eyes open, Sarah was pretty excited when she got to see her eyes open!
So sweet! Such a proud and happy Big Sister!
