Gisele Newborn Pics

Already wrapped around Daddy's fingers :)

Lovin on his Bittle Sister

Someone wasn't real happy for photos that morning. Thankfully Angela brought him this cool sucker with big teeth!

This is just a small sample but some of the best pics!

Maternity Pics

A little late on the Maternity pics but I finally got them on my computer and then uploaded.

So here are just a few.

Man am I glad I am not preggo anymore!!

Saturday Morning

Diapy changing time all around!

Don't want to jinx myself but Xavier is actually LOOKING at the camera AND saying cheese some days! :)

Eyes are partially open. We only really see them for a few at feedings, diaper changes and for about an hour a day. Not that I am complaining that she sleeps because I AM NOT!!!!!

Cheese!

Xavier is such a good big brother. He likes to hug and kiss all over Gisele and I am sure he is almost immune to "be gentle," "don't do that," and "please don't touch her face."

My other good helper is daddy! He is smitten with his new little girl! And when he is home if he doesn't have her he is playing with X. He is helpful beyond words, thanks Babe! I love you! :)

I also have to thank GG and Grandi for helping me out this past week and in the weeks to come! 

And thank you to all the visitors who have brought us food or helped out in some form or fashion!

Thank you everyone!

I think she was hungry....

Heading Home!

Going home was a little different this time! It was nice and warm outside and we had a little excitement leaving the hospital!

My milk came in right at 5, so I fed her before she had her PKU test at 5:45 allowing us to leave.  When she came back from the test she had spit up a little bit of blood. We determined it was from my feeding her and she got a little "too excited" so to speak about eating.

Big Bro checking her out to make sure she was good!

Showing Gisele her new crib and room.

Sweet kisses for Mommy! He finally warmed back up to me. We figured he knew the day I was in labor that something was going on. And in the hospital he just didn't like seeing me on the bed.

It's a GIRL!

Big Bro Xavier already giving kisses

He didn't want any part of me before delivery or even after really. Must have been the hospital bed.....

Sweet Gisele after birth. Her Angelina Jolie lips went away by the next day! :)

Gisele Frances Knott was born at 5:45, June 30, 2011. She weighed in at 8 pounds 14 ounces and 21.25 inches long. (she was 7 ounces more than Xavier at birth)

38 Weeks

38 weeks with #2

38 weeks with X

Please excuse the completely tired look of the top picture! Holy cow, pictures really do speak a 1000 words! In my defense it was at the end of the day on Sunday!

I think I look pretty similar.......maybe a little more out there or pointier now and rounder with X.

I don't know but the good news is if he or she doesn't want to come out on their own this time he or she will be here on Wednesday July 6th, 2011 at some point. So 2 weeks and counting!!!

I am already 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced though which my Doc says is a good thing. Considering it took 12 hours of Cervadil and extra night in the hospital to get to this point with X, I consider this progress! Yesterday I was a little NQR (not quite right) but it poured down rain all morning and X and I never got out of our JJ's. I did do some nesting and resting though so that could have added to my fatigue feeling all day. I had some different "pains" last night but not contractions. I am ready to be done using the potty every 2 hours though, that is FOR SURE!!! I think I buy a 12 pack of toilet paper every week at the store.......

Xavier knows there is a baby in the beanie/belly. But I am not really sure he fully understands the concept just yet. It will be interesting to say the least what happens when Baby arrives!

Xavier has also been sleeping in his big boy bed for a week now! It has been a slow transition and of course I have to start back over with getting him to go to sleep on his own again....I have laid down with him each night until he falls asleep. He wakes at various times each time and I usually just run in there and lay back down with him for a few minutes and he is out. I have a feeling I am going to need a gate at his door to keep in his room once I start letting him go to sleep on his own, which needs to be asap! :)

Okay, we have a fun day ahead of us with GG, Sha, Caden and Chloe!
