She's Here!

Well, as the title suggests, we have a new addition to our family. Lillian Claire Mott was born on January 5 at 10:08 a.m. She was 8 pounds 1 ounce and 20 1/2 inches long. We could not be happier. We went into the hospital on the 4th and I had a balloon catheter to help me dilate. That helped me dilate to about 5 cm the next morning at 5 a.m. They broke my water at 8 and had her at 10. It was really quick. I think that surprised us all. She is so beautiful! And a joyful addition to our family.

Her hair is a lot lighter than Wyatt's was when he was born.

One proud Daddy.

Sleepy girl.

Big Brother kisses. So sweet!

Lilly gave Wyatt a new Thomas the train set as a thank you for being a great big brother.

We had a big brother party for Wyatt when we got home from the hospital. This is the cake we had.

As you can see, Wyatt really enjoyed the cake!

This was the first time we let Wyatt try to hold Lilly and he did great! Isn't my family so cute!

Wyatt has had an adjustment period here since we had Lilly and we are taking it in stride. Understandably, he has had a major shift in his life. We are trying to keep everything as normal as possible for him and spending as much one on one time with him as we can. Which right now is mainly Daddy/Wyatt time.

A week after we had Lilly, we had some drama here. Thomas got very sick and had to go to the hospital, where they kept him over night. They think he had food poisoning. He is feeling much better now. Thankfully, Elizabeth came and took him to the hospital and my mom came up early and picked up Wyatt from school. Since I can't drive yet, I was very grateful for the both of them. Not only that the next day, Wyatt started potty training at daycare. I was slightly overwhelmed to say the least! But things have calmed down a little here thank goodness. Now, I'm just working on getting the kids on some kind of schedule.
