bennett


she is just so sweet...and Porter is the BEST big brother.  He LOVES her so much and is constantly wanting to help her, play with her, and just be right next to her!  He gets so worried when she cries, or fusses--he even offers her his blanket {which is a HUGE thing for him}!  We are home, but we had to come home with a bilirubin (sp?) blanket...her bilirubin level was high, so she looks like a little glow worm :)  We have to go back to the hospital in the morning, and again on Monday morning for a check of her blood, so hopefully the blanket will help...since I'm having to nurse her every 2 hours while her levels are high, I'm hoping that the blanket helps quickly ;)  
Other than that, things are GREAT and we are so excited to be home..more on her "birth" day later, but here's LOTS of pics from the last 48 hours!


porter, waiting on bennett to arrive...

our last "family of 3" picture...bennett would be arriving soon!

some last minute "only child" mommy time...he had no idea how his life would be changing in just 2 short hours!

she's here! All the grandmother's getting a quick peek

Porter was really proud of his "big brother" sticker!

And even more proud of his little sister {he asked if she was free or did we have to pay for her}
