Naomi Amelia was born on December 28th @ 1:10 pm in our bathtub @ home. She came after a very odd labor consisting of contractions every 5 min or more apart. Some of the midwives thought I wasn't in labor & wanted to go home. They stayed the night however & were not disappointed when she arrived just after lunch. She weighed 8# 4 oz., 20 3/4" length, 13 1/2 " head & 13 7/8" chest.
Luke likes Naomi, but he's a little rough (he tried to sit on her). Just as long as he can have some Mommy time (suck his thumb & hold my hair) he's fine with her. He can say what sounds like her name. In the above picture, he is playing with a CLEAN wet wipe.
Biggest brother Andrew was almost threatening the midwives (before he left with Grandma while I labored): It better be a girl...he was right. He's very happy to have Naomi in our famiy. He thinks she looks a little like a boy if she doesn't have girl clothes on.
Gwen is very excited to have another girl on the force...she loves to hold Naomi.
Leah, our little nurse, helps Mommy & Naomi while we lay in bed. She covered Naomi with blankets & kisses & gave Mom a drink of water. She promises to share her toys with her & not hit her.
Proud papa Jeff. He envies the time I get to be with Naomi. He wants to hold her whenever he gets the chance. He is an awesome father.
