Truman meets the Fam

Because the kids weren't able to come to the hospital, they were very eager to meet baby Truman and see mom again. Thanks to Skype we were able to talk to each other over video. The kids loved seeing the baby on the computer. The video calls helped all of us survive.

But on Thursday morning, we were able to come home and the kids were elated. Max surprised me and was very interested and excited about the Baby. He called him "Tooty" for Truman. He mostly bawled his eyes out if anyone else got a turn to hold him.

Hannah and Abe loved holding Truman for the first time. It was so cute to see their expressions of delight and love.

The kids are adjusting to all the change pretty well. I think Max is trying to act like the other kids and likes to act like we're having conversations. He still wants mom to hold him and carry him around (which I just physically can't do) so that is hard for him. I just have him sit on my lap instead.

Anyhoo... life as a family of 6. We'll see how we do!

You look fantastic! And all those pictures are just priceless. I think it's going to take me a while to get over that one with Max looking at him with his hands on his cheeks. SO CUTE! I'm so happy for you. Ahhh...family of 6! It's wonderful.
