Baby Jocelyn

Well, I'm finally getting around to updating our blog! It's amazing how much time a little tiny baby takes. :) Jocelyn Hope has arrived! She was born on Monday, November 10th at 7:06am. She weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. and was 20 in. She was a good baby from the start - we got to the hospital at 2:30am and she was born 4 1/2 hours later! I only had to push for half an hour and did the whole labor drug free. I was pretty proud of myself - that was my goal after attending our childbirth classes and I was thankful to be able to do it. I couldn't have done it without Calvin - he was a great coach, and his support meant everything. I may have caused permanant damage to his hands from squeezing them all morning! We stayed in the hospital until Wednesday and were glad to have the wonderful nurses take her to the nursery both nights so we could get some much needed uninterrupted sleep! It was great to come home though, and we have been treasuring and loving every minute with our new daughter. It's hard to believe she's already a week old! She's a good baby, she sleeps about 4 hours at a time at night - last night she went to bed at midnight and didn't wake up until 5! We're getting the nursing down too; she loves to eat! She's had lots of visitors - and she's going to be the best dressed girl around! She has cuter (and more) clothes than I do.

Precious new baby girl

Uncle Cory - he wanted a boy so he could teach it how to bow hunt - maybe she'll be a hunter?

Proud big sister Kailee! She just loves her baby sister - she picked her birthday in our baby pool - pretty neat. She is a great big sister and is a wonderful helper.

Grandma & Grandpa Bergner

They drove over at 3:00 in the morning so they could be here to meet Jocelyn! They were here this weekend and were a huge help - I caught up on some much needed sleep.

Great Grandma, Ama, Kailee, Jocelyn, Calvin & Bumpa

They've made us many meals and love to come over for visits!

Going home

She has Calvin's hair and so far his blue eyes - but I think they're turning brown.

The dogs are slowly adjusting - Ellie doesn't really pay too much attention to her, but seems to like her okay. Ginger, on the other hand, isn't a fan. She's finally stopped running away from her when she cries or squeaks, but she's still wary of her and she's mad at me. I hope she gets over that soon!

Kailee's first poopy diaper change - more of those will follow!

Our first outing was to Target - where else? :)

Can't believe she's already 1 week old! Notice the smile in this picture - it's probaby just gas, but I like to think she was smiling for the picture.... Her belly button scab fell off today - she's growing up too fast already! Well, my time is up - she's starting to fuss and hiccup (which she does all the time, as she did while I was pregnant). Time to feed her and maybe go to bed???
