It's a Girl!!

Piper Rose Carnell was born at 10:54pm on Saturday, October 13. She weighed in at 9 Ib 2 oz, and 20.5 inches long. (Almost exactly the same size as Jason, 10 oz smaller than Jonah, and 2 Ib heavier than Mary). Everything is going well, and I look for a gigantic peice of wood to knock every time I comment on her placid nature. I'm sure fate will hear me, and remember that Carnell babies are anything but placid. LOL

The kids adore her. Jason sits and holds her for hours, just gazing at her. He told me yesterday that he loves her more than anything: more than his toys, and even more than his TMNT video game. THAT is a lot of love. Mary hated her name at first, and was a little obnoxious about it, but her behaviour is settling down, and she's completely enamoured with her baby sister. Jonah didn't notice her existence for the first two days, but held her for the first time yesterday. Now he's a bit possesive, which makes breastfeeding difficult, when you have a two-year-old constantly trying to pull her off your lap!!

Chris is completely smitten with our new "Princess Squeak" as she's been nicknamed. It's fun to watch daddies with their baby girls.

That's all here folks!
