Meeting Family and Friends

We were anxious about Elizabeth meeting her baby sister.  She loves babies, but she does not like to share (especially her mama).  She also loves having all the attention, so we didn't know how she would like sharing that attention.

When Elizabeth came to the hospital we gave her a present "from Caroline" which included a Big Sister book and a real camera that she could take pictures with.  The camera was definitely a hit and Elizabeth is still taking pictures.

When Elizabeth first came in the room she ran directly to my bedside and wanted to climb up to see the baby.  When she opened her gifts she immediately wanted to read the book to Caroline.  This really melted me.  But after about 10 minutes, she was over the baby and more interested in all the attention she was getting from Nana, Pappa, Grandma, and Aunts Hannah and Rebeka.

She had a matching Little Sister onsie to give Caroline.

I did not  get a good picture of  Hannah and Rebeka with Caroline.  I'm hoping I'll have plenty of opportunities for that this summer.  And maybe Nana can send me some that she took:))

Caroline and Elizabeth both got a lot of attention from Grandma this week.   She took great care of Elizabeth and fixed us all great dinners every night!  We thought about telling her she couldn't go home!!

It has been wonderful having family come to help us take care of Elizabeth so we can adjust to being a family of four and I can heal from my c-section.  We are so very blessed!
