Baby Betsy

Betsy's long awaited arrival happened on Wed. Oct. 22.  Jamie is the best sister -in- law ever, and not just because she always does a fabulous job on my hair.  She let me come to her delivery.  It was the most amazing experience of my life.  I still can't stop thinking about how incredible it was.  Jamie did  a fabulous job with her baby too,  Betsy is adorable.  I totally love babies and so do my kids.  They could hardly wait to go to the hospital and see their new cousin.  
Layla was much more into the baby than I anticipated which meant we had to keep her away from Betsy.  She loved feeding the baby.  All the way home she kept saying she wanted her Betsy.
Gracie is pretty motherly.  She was the most attentive and had to hold the baby as soon as we got there.  She did a really good job with Betsy.  I was afraid we weren't ever going to get her out of the hospital.  Gracie loves babies and already talks about when she gets bigger and has babies.  
Crew was pretty amazed at how small Betsy was.  He couldn't believe that at one point he was that small.  He was also pretty interested in all the buttons on the bed and how everything in the hospital room worked.  
We didn't get to stay as long as Gracie and I would have liked but we did get to play with the Purel dispensers a lot.
