Big Sissies, Meet Little Sissy

Allie and Olivia met Lillian today. This was the most special moment of our lives other than any of them being born. My Mom stuck by my side over night while Justin went home to sleep after working the night before and being up for 30+ hours. Justin got up Friday morning with the girls and got them ready for the day. As soon as Mary Ann got to the house at 7, he picked us up breakfast and headed to the hospital. Justin's parents picked up Mary Ann and the girls and got to the hospital around 10. We were so excited about this. We have been preparing for this since the day we found out Lillian was coming. It was awesome.

They walked in and saw me sitting in the rocker with Lillian, aka the "boppy." We are trying to say baby better but it's too cute the way they say it. Allie immediately walked over and saw Lillian and put her finger to her mouth and said, "shhhh, boppy night, night." It was the most adorable thing ever. Olivia was a little more stand-offish. I showed them how to kiss baby sister but they weren't ready for that yet. Before they left today, the girls warmed up to Lillian and were very interested in her, especially when she started crying before it was time for her to eat. They watched Mrs. Darlene change Lillian's diaper in amazement. Before they left, we gave them each a present. We gave them new "lovies." These are their animal blankets. Their old ones are WORN slap out. They were very excited and are getting barbies tomorrow when we get home.

We are so ready to go home and are thrilled at how well Lillian is doing. Thank you all for your phone calls, flowers, cards, prayers, visits, and emails. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. A special thanks to our families for helping us with the girls while Mommy and Daddy can't be there with them. Another special thanks to Mary Ann for working overtime and keeping our beautiful Allie and Olivia.

We are hopefully being discharged Saturday afternoon and will be able to go home to our own bed and be together as a family. stay tuned for pictures!
