Noelle Sharon 12/22/12

Miss Noelle Sharon joined us on 12/22/12 via C-Section (aka forced eviction!)  She was 8lbs 14oz 21.5 inches long and PERFECT!!!!  The night before she was born Gus and I finally decided to give her the middle name of Sharon after my Mom.  She was predicted to be about 7.5 lbs and when they pulled her out (and yes there is a great pic of that not posted of course) the Dr. was astonished at how big she was.  She exclaimed "almost 9 lbs, you hid that baby well!" 

 

Tay stayed the weekend at Ray and Christi's (thank you SO SO SO MUCH) and had the best time with Ryle.  Christi brought the boys by Saturday evening and Tay was more excited to see all his Grandparents than me or Noelle.  He was super hesitant and didn't want anything to do with her for a long time.  There was a TON of commotion in the room and we think that was overwhelming for him as well as meeting his new sister.  He came back the next day and was much better.  

Getting ready to go home on Christmas Eve!!! Gus's mom bought us this adorable outfit and I had to have Noelle wear it to go home in.  She looked so cute, hated the bow in the car seat (and still does) but I blame it on the head rest.  She wears them otherwise :)

Tay was ecstatic to pick us up and take Noelle home, he giggled and said "Hi Noelle" the whole way home.  He loves her so much!  We finally got a good pick of the 4 of us in the Nursery when we got home.

She is just the BEST baby and put herself on a wonderful schedule all by herself and only wakes up once at night to eat.  She is very easy going and smiles a ton showing us her cute little dimple.  Taylor thinks she is the most amazing thing and talks about her all the time.  His transition was amazing and he acts like she has always been there.  We are so in love with her!
