Beautiful Girl

We had pictures of our little June bug taken just 3 days after we brought her home and our photographer has posted some 'sneak peeks' on her website. You will want to check them out. They are so beautiful I cried. Here is the link

Adjusting


It's been almost a week since we brought our little June bug home and there has been lots of adjusting around here. Jared now has the responsibility of helping G-man if he gets up in the middle of the night. I have primary mothering responsibility for June bug and am trying to meet the needs of a newborn and a busy toddler. Even G-man is adjusting to being a big brother. Some things have been easy. Somehow he knew instinctively that the new pink binkies were hers and not his. He only needs gentle reminders to be 'soft' with her. But today I found him in an interesting place.

I guess it's been hard for him to give up some of his old toys. Who can really blame him, though? It's never easy to find out the world doesn't just exist for only you.

Little Angel has arrived home

Wanted to make a quick post....This is Jared.
Mom is worn out from taking care of the new little one the last 2 nights at the hospital and has retired for the evening. But asked if I would load a picture of our little Angel that came home with us tonight. Gillie has so much to share about this wonderful event, I don't want to detract from her thoughts and beautiful words. So here is a picture and stats on the blessing that has become part of our lives! I'm sure her little face will show up here a few more thousand times in the next few months, so this is just the beginning.....

Baby on Her Way

It looks like today may be the day our baby girl is born. Our birthmom is in labor and Jared and I are just hanging out at the hospital in the NICU breakroom. G is at home with grandma- hopefully taking a good long nap. I will let you all know when I have any announcements to make.
