Big Sister

Today was important not just because of our new arrival, but also because Madeline officially became a big sister! The changes in the family dynamic were definitely on our mind leading up to this day, so we were a bit nervous about her reaction when the day finally came.

So far she's been wonderful, as you can see in the video below. However, we're trying to be aware of her feelings and emotions as the transition occurs. For example, the original plan was for me to stay in the hospital tonight and for her grandparents to sleep over tonight. However, we got the feeling that she wanted one of us to be home with her overnight. In fact, as she was leaving the hospital tonight she said "I'm still your daughter." So, as much as I'd like to be there tonight with Jenn and the dude, we still have a big girl to take care of, so I'm writing this from home.

Anyway, enjoy the video of Big Sister Meets Baby Brother!
