Adding a new baby to a family is a tricky propostion, especially with four big kids to impress! Luckily, everyone has nine months to adjust to the idea, and all "big babies" can be reminded daily that a "tiny baby" will be coming along soon. You never know how they'll react when they encounter their squirmy, pink, little sibling for the first time, though. We were a little worried how the first encounter with Mary would go, but it was a lot of fun, and there were no tears. They didn't know if the baby was a boy or girl, so they came running into the hospital room on our second day, dying to know. After the initial surprise, they were all genuinely excited for a sister!
These four little mommies all wanted to hold her immediately, and couldn't stop touching her hands and exploring her umbilical cord.
They also explored every last inch of the hospital room:
and even roamed the halls showing off their sister to anyone who looked our way. We were quite the procession.
Mary looks like she'll fit in perfectly with this crew!!
