Cecilia's second day

Today was a big day for Cecilia. First of all, she had a pretty good night. She was a little reluctant to let this big new world go so she could sleep. Once we got her settled down (around 2AM), she slept most of the night, minus feedings. This morning, things went well, and Cecilia's color really turned normal, and she became even more beautiful. She got to see some friends and more of the big world. She's also eating, sleeping, peeing, and pooping well.

The biggest part of her day was when she met her big sister Rosey. Lee Anne and Martha brought Rosey and Tinsley in to see us and the baby. Rosey is a wonderful big sister! She was very happy to see her little sister and wanted to give her hugs and kisses. She even tried to give Cecilia her baby doll. It was very nice. We think things will go well when we get home tomorrow.

Michelle is recovering well, just a little bit of nausea. We're all looking forward to getting home. Now it's time for some pics from today's visits.

Our family grows by 1

As some of you already know, our family size increased by one today. Cecilia Grace Carpenter was born at 4:06PM on September 26, 2008. She is beautiful, healthy, and huge blessing. She weighed 7lb 15oz at birth and was 21" long. She's looks a lot like her big sister Rosey did when she was born, the big round face and even some of the same little birthmarks on her face.

Michelle was amazing during the labor. Everything went smoothly, and Michelle is recovering nicely. Now it's time for family sleep. We'll try to update tomorrow, with more pics and maybe a quick little video of our newest little angel. Thank everyone for their prayers and we can't wait for all of you to meet little Cecilia.

Baby 2 is on the way.

As many of you may know, we've had a pretty exciting few days. Michelle started having contractions Tuesday evening, but they were irregular and not very strong. Wednesday morning, Michelle's contractions were more regular and every 3-4 minutes. So, we loaded Rosey up in the car, dropped her off at our friend Robyn's , and headed to the hospital. After we got "checked in" they hooked her up to the contraction monitors, and watched for a few minutes. The nurse checked Michelle and said, "Go home, we hope to see you in here later today." So, we headed to pick up Rosey, and that's where we are now.

Keep checking back, and we'll keep updating this. It could be any day now, or it could be a week.

Going to try this again

We're going to try to get this blog going again, as we're only a few weeks away from Baby #2, Rosey's really doing some amazing things, and it 'tis the season for families. Stay tuned for more updates and pics!
