On Thursday June 26, 2008 we were blessed with another beautiful daughter. We named her Lorelei Grace. She was born at 9:23 a.m. at 7 pounds, 7 ounces & 21 inches long. Lorelei weighed exactly the same as Brooke did, but was one inch taller. I guess we just have babies of a certain size!!
Things went well with the c-section. Mom and baby were healthy and there were no complications. For some reason it seems the recovery time and pain have been a bit less than with Brooke, so that is nice. But don't get me wrong - I still need those heavy pain pills!!
Brooke seems to be doing pretty well with having Lorelei at home. She kisses her and tries to share her food and juice with her. Sometimes she rips off her socks or blanket - but all in all not too bad! She hasn't really "acted out" too much - but she seems maybe more sensitive to everything - a bit more getting upset when we tell her no and crying more. However, we have been cognizant of making sure she is getting lots of love and attention and especially some one on one time with us.
And now - the part you've been waiting for...Pictures!!
