So I'm finally able to post an update and a few more pictures. These past few days have been one big blur - one appt. after the other. Today I've been able to just stay home and do nothing but love on my babies...life is so sweet. Mom is here waiting on us hand and foot and taking care of Jacob's every whim...I'm going to have my hands full when she leaves for sure! Lia is an absolutely wonderful baby. She's just as laid back and easy going as her brother was. I'm not sure how we were so fortunate to get the babies we got, but I'm SOOO thankful! Jacob is totally in love with his sister. He loves to kiss her, pat her back, rub her head - anything to give her attention. "Awe...nice baby" he says. He lets me know any time she's crying "baby cry", if she needs sleep "baby tired", or if she needs to eat "baby need go-durt (yogurt)".
Some of you may remember the Great Name Debate - Lia was the name we originally had picked out for her. It was the spelling I was struggling with. In the end, thanks to your comments/ suggestions, I decided "Lia" was the name and spelling for her. Those of you who suggested "Mia" and "Tia" helped me make up my mind. ;) (Lia is pronounced like "Leah" "Lee-a" "Leigh-ah")
Without further ado...pictures!!
The first time Jacob really got to see Lia. He saw her in the recovery room for a couple of minutes but this is the first "up close and personal" time with her. He came running into our room saying "baby, baby, baby". It was love at first sight.
"She's sooo sweet. I think I'll put my fingers in my mouth too"
Finally at home.
Jacob - "How do I hold her head still?"
Lia - "Oh, it's been a full day already."
"Hmm...let me contemplate this family I've been born into."

After much excitement and action...all 4 C. grandchildren.

Hi Kristen- I see you have a live feed at the side of your blog so I'll tell you who I am so you don't get freaked out by the Ukr dot! I know several Kristens, so followed your link off of Lani's blog comments. When I saw your site, I'm pretty sure I follow your Aunt (?) Susan's blog in GA???
You have beautiful children. So sweet and such a special time! I got to be with my little sis a few years ago when her twins were born; with 2 toddlers, it was a busy time but I wouldn't trade it for anything!
She's beautiful and sweet and small and wonderful. I'm lovin' the picture of you at the bottom with your babies. And the one of you kissing the top of Jacob's head. And well... really... I'm partial to all of them. Hugs to you all.
That is so wonderful! What a little doll. Oh to have pink in the house! Congratulations!!!!!
She's gorgeous! I hope we have another little girl.. I love all the little frilly girly stuff! :)
Congratulations! I love her name as well!
