New Arrivals!



I missed a lot of the excitement late Monday night/Tuesday morning, but I checked in with JuneBug and she told me the story. My new little sister arrived four days after her due date, just like I did. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary Monday - Mom, Dad and I had a nice light dinner and then a friend from church came by to play with me. She was awesome! We played and then had a bath and got ready for bed. Meanwhile Mom and Dad spent a lot of time together walking in circles in the den and rocking in rocking chairs. The midwives also came to visit around the time I was saying night-night.



Juney made her entrance not too much later - just after midnight. We figure it took about five hours or so for her to be born. (You have to check with Mom and Dad for the details.) Here she is be examined by one of the midwives - you can tell it was late!



I woke up around 2 and Daddy came to get me and introduce me to my new little sister. Pretty neat! I went back to sleep and got to spend more time with her in the morning.





A few hours after my little sister was born D's family flew and drove in from their various far-flung hometowns. I have not wanted for fun or attention!



As for June, she got a small taste of what Christmas is like.





Mostly though she's been doing a lot of this, which is just fine with us!
