Saturday was the big day. That morning, before breakfast, we followed our routine of asking Little Buddy if the baby was coming that day. Normally, Little Buddy either ignores the question or answers, "Not yet." On Saturday, however, he flipped up his response and told us, "Baby come today!" Although Daddy and I weren't convinced he was right, I was mindful of how he had confidently picked the gender of his sibling several months ago. I wondered if maybe...
Flash forward an hour later and we're headed to the hospital! I was having some contractions and, since I was pretty dilated already, decided we should just go to the hospital to get checked out. You see, when Little Buddy was born three years ago, I didn't know I was in labor, so our doctor told us to just get checked out anytime we though my Braxton Hicks became too regular, just to be safe. Thank goodness we heeded her advice!

At the hospital, I was checked and admitted. Today was the day, Little Buddy was right! I'm still trying to get the lottery numbers from him! Little Buddy went to stay with Ms. J and her two boys, K & K. He had a great time with his friends, but I missed him a lot.

...Little Sister arrive in the world! She arrived on Sweetest Day, so we've been referring to her as our Little Sweetie.
Our new family of four!
Checking out Little Sister!
So far, Little Buddy has been an exemplary big brother! He loves his sister SO much, but we just have to work on controlling his joy a bit and being a little more gentle with her. It's pretty amazing to watch him dote on her though. I'm going to love watching them grow together!
Good night,
