welcome.home.&.big.sisters

Welcome home Amelia! We came home Saturday afternoon around 3:30. Amelia slept the entire way home, and she slept all afternoon and evening at home as well. She ate well twice before she went to bed, and slept most of the night. She did, however, wake us up several times throughout the night just to let us know that she was still there! As soon as Josh would pick her up, she'd go right back to sleep. She definitely has the sleeping habits of her daddy thus far!

Claire and Meredith are so excited about Amelia! Meredith refers to her as "Melia". When they were at the hospital the other night, my mom was changing Amelia's diaper, and Meredith said, "Melia is a very tiny baby!" Claire responded (with big eyes and great enthusiasm in her voice), "Yeah, but she sure poops a lot!!" They have been with both sets of Grandmas and Grandpas over the weekend, and they are coming home today (Sunday). However, my mom called this morning and said that Meredith is sick, and unfortunately, it was coming out of both ends. We're hoping it isn't a big deal, but if you could say a few prayers for her and the other girls, we would appreciate it. We certainly don't need a house full of sick kids right now.

Here are a few pictures of the proud big sisters. I love the pictures of Meredith and how she's just so serious about her role as a big sister. She seriously wore her "I love being a big sister" shirt 4 or 5 days in a row during the week before and the week of Amelia's birth. She even wore it to bed under her pajamas on Wednesday night...I should have seen the labor coming! Claire looks so mature in all of her pictures. Did she have 3 or 4 birthdays that I didn't know about? It looks like it! Enjoy...
