Baby GIRL Glewwe

Here are a few photos for those if you who have been waiting...

Dad, Mom and baby minutes after her arrival.

Rinnah was not too sure when she first came down after her nap, but as soon as she sat down next to Mom and baby, it was all over.  She immediately wanted to share her special purple blanket.  Reminds me a lot of how Owen immediately wanted to share his special yellow blanket with Reuben when he was born.

Reuben spent a few hours out of the house with some friends, but as soon as he got home, he was all about meeting his new sister.  Even with his thumb in his mouth, you can see the joy coming off his face.

Reuben getting his first chance to hold baby.

Reuben may not "hold" her the same way his other siblings do, but he definitely loves to have her in his lap and touch her head.

Leah waited very patiently for her turn to hold baby.  It sure looks pretty natural for her to be holding this baby.  Leah was really glad to get to be a part of the whole birth process this time.  She was a great help!

Owen was the last to hold his new sister after getting home from a friends house.  He just couldn't stop talking about how he thinks she is the cutest baby we have had yet.

 

 

We don't have  any pictures of Krassi holding baby, mostly because he is not physically able to and also because she did not really seem to register with him yet the couple times when we brought her close to her or brought him up by where she was.  A baby is something that has no meaning to him...it is not something he has probably ever seen before.  He has no framework for processing what happened around here today.  It will be interesting to see what he thinks of her as he sees more of her.
