The Family Reacts to a New Baby...







Jacob is the family protector and continues in his role of captain safety, always reminding us to wash Eliza's binky, and to hold her head just so...He brought a stuffed kangaroo to the hospital to give to baby Eliza, but he saw how tiny she was and he was goihg to take it home with him. He looked at Eliza again and handed the kangaroo back to me and said, "You had better keep it for her, in case she grows up while I'm gone."

Miriam is in heaven, with a little baby to hold, love and watch. She always asks, "Can I hold her?" Then she will just sit with Eliza on her lap and smile.

Hazel, her first reaction was, "Can I hit the baby? Please?" but she has calmed down and never hit the baby, and she loves to find her fingers and toes. Now she is just looking for love. When Mommy told her she can't carry her, Hazel said, "Mommy can't hold me again." wimper wimper

Daddy has a new working buddy. Eliza sits on his pillow and works with him for at least a few hours a day, for which mommy is grateful.

Mommy is enjoying having a little slug around again, even if she is losing sleep...
