Brady's baby sister, Siena, was born just before Thanksgiving! Since she's Amber's second, I guessed that she would be early....but NO, she was late! We were VERY ready for her arrival!
She was born just before midnight, and Matt and Amber were so gracious to invite us to come see her the next morning! It surprised me that as soon as I held her I couldn't hold back the tears!
It's amazing to know that we will grow so close and build many memories together! Papa (Grandpa) was very kind, too, to pass his new granddaughter off to "the nanny" for a bit! I feel very loved and like part of the family! Caleb wasn't quite sure what to think and was more excited to see Brady and play than look at a baby.
This is a week or two later. I've only been helping out a couple of times a week, and of course she's usually eating or sleeping. I'm still anxious to get to spend more time with her and bond some more. She's already over a month and I feel like I've hardly seen her.
Brady is doing well, and is a proud big brother. If I'm holding her, he'll come over, stop, look at her and kiss her head before telling me what he came over to say. I'm not sure that Caleb has any thoughts at all about her yet. The one thing he's said is that, "I'm going to hold her and take care of her when she's born." So far he's still not too sure about holding her yet!
