Jocelyn Marie Eddings is born 6/16/11

We have welcomed Jocelyn Marie into our family on 6/16/11. She weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and she was 21 inches long. She was born at 10:07 pm.

She was born with dark dark hair.


We called everyone after she was weighed and cleaned, which was after 11. Needless to say, Daphne was still awake and couldn't wait until Friday to see her baby sister. Since she was staying with her Mimi and Paw, the group was at the hospital until after 12:30 am. It was kind of nice though because Clinton and I got a little sleep after they left, although Clinton got a lot more than I did. The nurses even moved his couch at one point around the room and he didn't even wake up!!! I was up every little bit so I could either nurse or be poked and prodded by the nurses. It was a good thing we liked them so much! We had wonderful nurses that took care of us all day and night.
Daphne was getting a little tired at the hospital. Lauren with the new one.
We can already tell she is a daddy's girl!
Daphne got big sister stickers from the nurses. We had stickers for each foot.

Aunt Emilee had to come and see the little one. Big sister was right there too.

Yay we are leaving. Mommy actually put the girls in matching outfits, however you can't see Jocelyn's outfit.
There it is! She looks so little in her bed.

Sesame Street... Here Daphne Comes

Mimi and Paw took Daphne on a very special trip the weekend of Memorial Day. They started out on Friday morning and ate at Cracker Barrel. Then they went to see Sesame Street Live, where the three of them got to sit front row AND meet all the characters BACK STAGE! Clinton and I got pictures all day long of their adventure. We were both very jealous! :) It looked really awesome. The fun thing was, the adventure continued after the show. They drove to South Carolina and stayed at the Embassy Suites and then went to the Riverbanks Zoo for the day. Let's just say we weren't sure who was more tired by the end of this trip! They all came home with big smiles, so I would say it was a good time.

Daphne wasn't afraid of the characters at all. We were so relieved when we found out. Clinton and I were afraid she was going to be shy, but nope, not at all!

Yes, this is actually how close they sat.

Daphne loved the different animals. She would even use their real names. For example, on the way home, Paw asked her what her favorite animal was. Her response was "tarantula." Then she asked them if they were going to keep picking her brain. They died laughing. She is too smart for her own good.

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day, we went to Lauren's parents house to swim. It was all 7 1/2 of us. We spent the day swimming, eating watermelon, slushies, and cooking out at our house afterwards. Overall it was a good day.
