1 Week Old!

We can hardly believe one week has gone by since we welcomed little Jillie Grace into our lives. It has been a great week and Jillian is already sleeping up to 5 hours straight at night!!! Her big sister is loving helping out and keeps her own 'baby' at her side always and yesterday she was even "nursing" her baby just like Mommy. What a sweet little lady we are blessed to have two healthy girls. Enjoy this week in pictures.

I may be cheesy but I'm a great big sister

Welcome Jillian Grace!

Jillian Grace arrived Monday, May 24, 2010 at 4:16pm at The Birth Center in Bryn Mawr, PA. She weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20" long. The labor was a total of about 4 hours and through it all God was with us giving us a beautiful, safe natural delivery. Michael was an amazing birth partner keeping me calm and relaxed throughout the entire birth and our team of midwife, Anne, and nurse, Sue were so supportive and amazing. Even when Jillian was born with her cord wrapped twice around her neck they stayed calm and quickly took care of things. I will later post our birth story. Here are some pics of Jillie's first days.

I kept saying she'd have a head full of dark hair...

but no I didn't have heartburn(as the old wives tail says)

Addie loves having Happy Birthday sung to her and asked for a repeat of the blowing out the candle- so we re-lit it a few times:)

The birthday morning was spent at Jumpers playing with her friend Desmond in all the fun bouncy rooms and slides.
