Healthy boy...

I'm 1-week old ! ! !

Homecoming...

Shocking Photo Alert!!!

These pictures were taken right when we got home from the hospital.

They are shocking to me because I left for the hospital with two babies at home -

I came home to two GIRLS!

Welcoming Andrew...

Andrew on his first day in the world... The girls on their visit to the hospital to meet their little brother...

If he doesn't look tiny, it's because he's not!

He was 9 lbs. 6 oz. - 21-1/2" long!

Playing with Aunt Barbie...

Aunt Barbie is a grandma, and therefore highly qualified as a great playmate! She is so creative at playing games with the girls! They took the stickers off their new clothes from Grandma and made them into elephant trunks that would go up when they blew and made elephant sounds. Then Isabella put her sticker over her eyes and made some strange "I can't see" gestures.
We really need video clips of this, pictures don't do it justice...

Maternity pics

Ok, here are some maternity pictures, finally. Talk about waiting till the last minute - these were taken 2 hours and 10 minutes before he was born. I took most of my face out because I was looking tired (barely slept the night before, go figure) and I was already crying about leaving the girls for 3 days.

Gianna, my little mama...

Please don't be upset that I am adding pictures and they aren't of the baby.
Look how sweet Gianna is before you get mad!
She had to bring the baby monitor to bed with her for her nap today and cried when the picture on it didn't come in from her room. So I told her to just lay and listen to the baby and this is what I saw when I came back in about 2 minutes later... She would halfway open her eyes to look at the monitor every minute or so...

And some of a happy little Isabella (who, by the way, isn't at all interested in her little brother)...
