Lily Nicole Lewis is Born!

We are SO excited to announce that Lily Nicole Lewis is here! She was born on Saturday, September 22, 2007 at 4:25pm. She weighed in at 7lbs., 130z and 19.5 inches long.

Her birth was amazing and I'm proud to have accomplished it via VBAC. My midwife and the hospital nurses were fabulous and so supportive but I couldn't have done it without the love and support of my wonderful husband. Steven was so incredible and seeing him now with his two girls is so heart warming. He's a such an amazing husband and father.

Zoe is THRILLED to have her sister finally here. She has been such a great help and loves her sister a lot. Seeing her with Lily is so precious and having them both is incredibly

fulfilling.

We are all home now

adjusting to a new schedule with our new baby girl. We are learning that Lily is pretty mellow and loves to snuggle. And we love to snuggle her!

I'm working on getting photos up for viewing but there are a few on the blog for you to look at.

Thank you all for your love, prayers and support to our family. Welcome Lily!

Funny Things Zoe Says/Does

8/13/08 - Zoe has three imaginary friends, Kevin, Macey (who is also a "real" friend) and Poopoo. She's had them for a while. She understands that they are "pretend" but lately they've been really a part of our family. We even had to buckle them in the car a few times.
5/15/08 - Zoe and I were walking together on a sidewalk and an old woman was coming in the opposite direction. The sidewalk was narrow and we all stopped to offer the other to pass. The old woman insisted we go. As we passed, I said, "Excuse us" and nodded in gratitude. Then, seizing the "teaching moment," I said to Zoe, "We say 'excuse me' whenever we pass by someone." In her own "teaching voice," Zoe responded, "And when we burp or toot." Ah, another proud mommy moment.
4/12/08 - Zoe started remindng us while we're driving, "You need to drive with two hands on the wheel." The funny thing is that niether of us have ever taught her that. It's something she either figured out herself or someone else told her.
Every once in a while Zoe will say, "I don't want Lily to grow up."
2/26/08 - My friend Megan who is about 7 months pregnant came over for dinner. Right after dinner Zoe asked her (with genuine concern), "Megan, is that a baby in your tummy or are you just really full?"
2/24/08 - "Mommy, when Pumpkin (the cat) dies, can we get a dog?"
