Mickle and Petal meet for the first time!














Within a couple hours of Petal's birth, Mickle came home to meet her. He was sooo excited to finally meet his baby sister! He had been asking daily for weeks when she was gonna come (and since she was almost 2 weeks late- mom and dad were doing the same!)




He came into the room a little nervous, but with a big grin on his face. He climbed up on my bed, and looked at me. "Mommy, your tummy is still really big! I think maybe there is another baby in there!" We assured him there wasn't another baby in there, and then introduced him to his sister. He was so cute. You could tell he was so proud of her. We got Mickle all situated on the bed so that he could hold Petal for the first time. We put her, all swaddled up, into his arms and he just grinned at her. Then he began to look a little worried. "Where are her legs??? Her legs! Where are her legs???" He started scrambling, and looking worried. We tried to explain that she had her legs. Mickle then reached over and touched my stomach. He freaked out saying "I feel baby parts! The baby's legs are still in you tummy!!!!" We explained to him that her legs were just swaddled, and that they were there under the blankets. He felt much relief when he unwrapped her legs and saw them.












SO relieved to see her legs!

Too Funny!
