More Pictures

Here I am again! We're waiting to be discharged from the hospital and hopefully go home in a few hours. The baby is in the nursery being examined and I thought I'd use the last little bit of free time I might have in awhile to post some more pictures. My dad brought Kellen and Bonnie up to the hospital yesterday afternoon and they were able to meet and hold Noelle. They were really excited. Bonnie was such a good big sister. She kept saying, "Shhh, Noelle, it's OK." Kellen kept looking at Josh and saying, "She loves me, doesn't she?" It was a sweet time.





As for me, I'm doing well and trying to recover from the shock of no epidural! I wasn't prepared for that, but delivery went quickly and of course I survived. Noelle is such a sweet baby. She's eating great and is very healthy, thanks be to God.  

Thank you for all your kind comments. It is such an encouragement, especially since we've moved and have a smaller circle of "in person" friends at this point.

OK, baby's back. Gotta go.

Technology is so awesome! It's great that you can post pictures from your hospital room the day after you have a baby. You have no idea how grateful those of us who can't be there are for the updates! The stories about Kellen and Bonnie are great. Love, Lesley

I love the "meet the new sibling" moments... the way kids react is so sweet. I love that Kellen says that she likes him... that is classic! Mom is looking great too!

Well, I'm not biased and I say she IS beautiful!! Yet another gorgeous child.

Norah and I thoroughly loved looking at the pictures of new baby "No-Wail" (as she drawls her). We miss you guys, but were so thankful to still feel like we shared in the excitement of her arrival. Thanks so much for the updates!

OK - I got to see her in person, and I'm still awed by how beautiful (and what a sweet complement to Bonnie & Kellen) Noelle is. It was a wonderful experience, and I appreciate the opportunity. I just hated to hear about my daughter going through that without benefit of anesthesia!

Love you guys, Dad
