I woke up on my second day in the hospital so happy to find out that Samantha was indeed real and was indeed a girl! 🙂 and let’s get serious, it’s not like I just woke up that morning – I was up all night sleeping in about hour long stretches. I didn’t care though. I might have been tired but I had a baby girl and nothing was going to take me off that high!
The boys came up that day and brought Samantha a little treat – a tiger stuffed animal rattle picked out by Maxwell especially for her! Perfect!
Samantha also had a treat for her brothers – these cool Boogie Board writing tablets.
The boys were so excited to check out their baby sister and, this time, even Spencey wanted to get up there and see her…and touch her!
Everyone took turns holding her…
and kissing on her.
Soon the boys settled into their iPads and Robert held the baby and I just had to laugh and smile at this image…
We’ve got a full house now!
That night I also gave Samantha her first manicure! 🙂 Her nails were really long when she was born so I took some baby emery boards to her little nails so she wouldn’t scratch her face…
and look at her scaly skin! eek! That’s what a full term 40 week baby’s hands look like!
It was a great day 2 with this sweet baby girl!
Tomorrow? Home! See you then.

Knew that little Spencer would come around – little overwhelming that first day! Such sweet pictures of the whole family together! Great memories! The tiger really was the perfect gift for Maxwell to select! He thought my gift of clothes was “not a very good present”! Love that little boy!
