The writings here have always been to Maya, and all about Maya. So for what is probably the last post in that tone, Little Miss Havener, here you are a few seconds into meeting your little sister for the first time. And let me tell you, I was worried because you were *not* excited about coming to the hospital to see her. In fact, you said you didn't want to meet her, period. All that changed about a millisecond after you saw her...
You played This Little Piggy with her, and I almost cried.
You got over your own concerns about baby sister, right quick.
Heck, you even gave her a kiss. Not a fart (raspberry), not a blown kiss, not a blowoff (that's what Mom and I usually get when we ask for a kiss). Again, Dad near tears as his three favorite ladies got together for the first time.
Grammy is watching you while Mom, baby, and I are hunkered down in an extremely small hospital room. But she was here too, and eventually she got in on the love, too.
Everyone is waiting on a name for this baby, and we aren't telling yet. For now, at least tonight, let's just say she's Little Miss Havener. You are too big for that moniker now, I guess technically you would call yourself Medium Miss Havener. The blog we'll have to rename, but let's get your little sister's name settled first!
And for the record... 9 pounds, 14 ounces. 22 inches long. A gigantic brain-filled Havener head. You are *not* a small baby by any means. But you are a gentle baby, a quiet baby, and we sure do like you a lot. Thanks for finally showing up!
How beautiful, Little Miss Havener, Little Maya and he first look at her sister and your words... I am almost crying reading your blog and looking at the pictures. Congrats, she is beautiful, you are so blessed and Mike, Gabriel and I can't wait to meet her! All the best and see you soon,
