Well Kyle left me for a bit today to go home and shower and walk Chewy, then he went over to Laurel & Roine’s to pick up the kids. Then he brought them over to see me. But right before they got here the nurse called my room to tell me that Chloe was awake and I can come and try nursing her, so when Kyle and the kids arrived I was in the nursery. There is a limit of only three people in with a baby at a time so that meant that Kyle was stuck out in the hall with the kids while I was sitting in the nursery nursing Chloe. So they left to go get ice cream, and Kyle got the kids happy meals so that they could eat dinner with me. After dinner, the kids had to take turns going in to see Chloe.
So here I am with our brown eyed kiddos, the nurse was getting Chloe ready for me to nurse her again, and Jeremy and Tyra were so excited to meet her. Ethan had a turn to see Chloe first (so he is outside looking in, here), and he went in with Kyle while the others finished eating their dinner. Ethan just happened to finish his food first. Dinah didn’t actually get to go in the nursery. They said that they must be 2 years old or older to go in, and Dinah is just 3 months shy of that, so she had to see Chloe through the windows. But she was so excited to see ‘baby’ that she kept trying to escape from my room to go out and see the baby again.
Debby also showed up while I was in nursing Chloe, so she is the first auntie to see her. 😉 Debby was excited about that.
It’s so much fun to watch the kids meet their new sibling. Their faces are so precious, filled with joy and wonder.
How are you and baby doing? Has the fever passed yet? I hope you are okay.
PS-you look SO good in that picture, I can hardly believe you are so little already. Our bodies are amazing.
Congratulations on your 5th baby! That’s wonderful. I hope she continues to get better.
