plus one

We added a new family member Monday night. He was suppose to wait until Tuesday at 7:00am, but unfortunately, he was not about to wait anymore than he needed to. My sister in law, Paula went into full labor! The planned c-section got bumped up about 15 hours. My brother, Jamie, got his little boy. Noah Mateo was born a little after 5:00pm on August 27th. Weighing in at 7lbs, 8oz and 20 inches, the perfect average! He is the spiting image of my brother at birth. Squishy nose and everything. Aunt Kelly got to play photographer. Hospital shots are never the best, but you get the idea.

of course Chloe was there to greet her new cousin.

Did this make me want another wee one? NOPE! Not one bit. Guess I am still not ready.

    Awww, congratualtions to your family. Babies are such a blessing. Hospital pics are the best because you look at them and you remember all the emotions and every detail of that special day :)

    Oh that’s so sweet. I love the picture of the big sister - she just doesn’t look impressed at all. She looks like she is realising that the lime light will be shared from now on. The picture of Chloe is so gorgeous - she looks like she is thinking of a question?? Love the hair.

    I don’t know what it is about babies that makes my voice reach a few higher octaves.

    I so wish you were there when Caleb was born. He could’ve had a nice photo spread with honorable mention on his auntie’s website too! We may just have to fly you out for the next one. Congratulations to all!
