The anticipation of having Henry and Frances meet Margaret was seriously one of those great moments in your life where you can barely stand to stay in your skin because you are so excited. We told my parents to NOT tell the kids if it was a boy or girl or her name. The hospital puts these signs on the room door that say "It is a Girl".....so unfortunately ....with a child that can read - Henry knew before I could tell them. Henry was happy and excited and Frances was a bit overwhelmed. They were most excited about the big sister and big brother presents that Maggie brought them. Frances had requested (via yelling to my belly daily) a baby with a bottle. She got one and instantly wanted to hold that and play with "that baby" rather her sister, who she also called "that baby". Pretty funny. Henry was incredibly precious holding Maggie - she is SO lucky to have a kind, thoughtful big brother like Henry. Thankfully, the kids thought the whole experience of mom having a baby was pretty awesome mainly because they got to have a sleepover at Grandma and Papa's house and go on adventures to the zoo, bowling and watch cartoons. Pure bliss....for them......and for Mark and me in that we got to spend some precious moments getting to know our little girl.
