The Big Sister

Maya came home from the cottage with a big smile. She had so much fun, that she hardly ever talked about us. Once she was home however, it was all about the baby. She wanted to hold him and kiss him and burp him. She was happy to see us too, at least for a little while.

We've been making sure to incorperate some maya time every day to help her transition into being a big sister. We dance and play and tell her we love her as much as possible. One day we had a very special outing. It was Maya's first hair cut, and we made a day of it. first we went to get daddy's hair cut. She got to see what it was all about and saw that daddy was not afraid, she also got a lollypop :)

after a nice picknick lunch it was Maya's turn. For her first hair cut we went to Hair Play. A Salon that specializes in kids cuts. There were seats shaped like cars, Dora playing on a tv overhead and more lollypops. Maya didn't say much at the time, but she hasn't stoped talking about it since. She even mimics Vicky (her hair dresser) when playing pretend.

At the end of the visit Maya got another lollypop (which we saved for another day) and a deploma for her first hair cut.

We'll try to keep doing little things like this from time to time. They grow up way too fast.

Catching up

So, Here we are!

We're home with our little Jonah. He was born on August 18th at 1:30 pm. weighing in at 8lbs 2oz and mesureing are good 21".

The Labour went really well, I would even say it was almost fun. My Dr. Was there to deliver my baby and she was amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better nurse.

The labour lasted 5 hours form start to finish. I was induced again, but this experience was much nicer than the last.

Jonah had a great first night at the hospital, even letting mommy and Daddy sleep for 4 hrs.

Other blessings included, my mom being able to be there for his birth, all our wonderful visitors and Maya's Grannie and Grampa were able to bring her to the cottage for 3 days while we adjusted to our new little guy. She came to visit us at the hospital first of course.

As you can see Jonah was born with a great head of hair, what you can't see is that he was born with a great set of lungs.
