More pics of Zoey

We've been home for two days and all is well! All the kids want to hold her but have learned the rules about not t0uching her face or pushing on her head. They are so excited to have her home. If they don't see her right away they start asking where she is. Most of the time the answer is, "She's sleeping.". Here's the pics we took of her in the hospital with her siblings:


Thayne was holding Zoey when all the kids came in the room. They all circled around to see Zoey for the first time.



Jaed has not focused on the fact that Zoey is a girl. Right now he is excited to have a little baby in the family.



Josie is constantly asking questions like: "Why is she so little?", "How come we can't touch her face and head?", etc.. We try and tell her that she was as small as Zoey when she was born but she can't quite picture that.



Ok, first let me say that before Indi came up to the hospital she was decorating her face with make-up so that's why her face is blotchy. Anyways, Indi is in love with Zoey. She wants to hold her, read to her and talk to her all the time. She's darling with her!



Kai seemed interested in Zoey at the hospital but since we've been home she pretty much ignores her (phew!!!). We've tried to keep Kai on her normal routine so that Zoey doesn't seem like a threat to her and so far no eye poking has accured!




My mom was there from the beginning again and shared in the birth of our last child. It was great to have her there to experience it with us. She's always a comfort in the room and is a great assistant to Thayne.



Zoey is so precious and calm. She's a perfect ending to our little family!

Ally, CONGRATULATIONS! You look wonderful, I can't believe how great you look after just giving birth. (I do wonder what you gave your visitors!) Your kids look so big, especially next to a newborn. And Zoey is precious. Indi looks just like you, she has changed into a big girl and is beautiful. I can relate to that feeling of doneness... bittersweet, really. Miss you and hope all is well. May the meals and sleep come pouring in!!!
