Jaylee Josephine was born on July 1rst, at 4pm. She weighs 7lbs 8.2 oz, and is 20 inches long. Once she decided to come, she came in a hurry! They admited me Sunday morning after having contractions off and on for two days. Things still weren't moving all that quickly, until early afternoon.
Then she surprised everyone, including the doctor by showing up in a big hurry! My doctor didn't make it in time, but one of the midwives was able to get there to assist the nurses. My doctor showed up about 15 minutes after she was born.
Alana wanted to hold her right away. She was so excited about her baby sister! Kaleb didn't hold her until monday. He said she was too big, but changed his mind and did great holding her.
She has even more hair than Alana did! It is light brown, and very blonde underneath. Very pretty. She has very long hands and feet. That was the first thing that the nurses commented on, was her huge feet. She must be a Johnson!
We sang "Happy Birthday" to Jaylee, and got a birthday cake to share. Kale and Alana loved having a birthday party for their little sister. I think they really enjoyed that she didn't get to eat any cake like the big kids.
Kaleb and Alana have been very sweet with Jaylee. Alana loves giving her hugs and kisses, and wants to hold her all the time. We are really going to have to keep an eye on her being "helpful" with her sister. I am glad they are doing so well with her. The kids had a hard time with mommy being gone in the hospital with Jaylee, but hopefully we can calm down into a routine now that we are home. We are so excited about the new addition to our family!
