meeting little man

my parents took the girls for us while we were in the hospital.  it was a good thing that they had already agreed to keep them the entire week, since we ended up staying in the hospital longer than anticipated.

 

we made it home about fifteen minutes before the girls arrived with grandma and grandpa.  they were more than a little thrilled to meet little man.

 

this picture melts my heart - that is where b looked over and saw that i was home too :)

we were able to have lots of help during the first week we were home.  the mister's mom came up for a few days to help out with the girls (and brought up a ton of freezer meals that my sister in law organized!!), then my mom came back up for a few days to also help out.  we're so grateful for their willingness to help.  i'm sure it didn't hurt that there were 3 grandbabies to love on too.

the girls love having a baby brother and try to smother snuggle him to pieces.  we've had to enforce some ground rules so no one gets hurt.  b especially loves having little man around.  this girl is a natural mommy.
