Meeting their new brother

Jason's parents had Lila all day and got Brendan to and from school for us.  After Parker was born and he called his mom to share the news and she made the decision to not tell the kids and let them be surprised when they got to the hospital.

They also took a video on the ride to the hospital of the kids arguing about if it was a brother or a sister and then once they arrived walking into the room and finding out the news.  It is such a special video and I wish I had a copy of it now to share (I will share when my father in law remembers to get us a copy!)

Lila was so incredibly excited about the baby.  I think her and my mom were the most excited:)  She made her entrance into the room and asked what the baby was and yelled,

"It's a Parker!!!"

She also thanked me several times for giving her a little brother.  It was love at first sight.





Brendan on the other hand was playing it cool.  He had his Kindle and seemed more interested in playing games than greeting his new sibling.  He kept asking me for a baby brother since he already had a sister.  Luckily it worked out for him.


He then decided he should take a peek and see what all the fuss was about that Lila was making.





When it was time to move to the next room Lila did not want to be separated from me or her new baby as she called Parker.


Then once we were settled, the pediatrician came in to exam Parker and guess who asked to help?  An what an amazing doctor to take the extra time to let the big sister help out with the check up!  Lila was so happy!
 
 
Now it was close to dinner so Jason, my mom, and sister took the kids to the "Cafaria" as Brendan called it and a couple of my friends showed up to meet Parker.  Then after dinner the kids were kind of "over" being at the hospital and were getting loud and crazy.  We said our good-byes and I settled in for a relaxing evening at the hospital with Parker.  Meaning at 11:30pm they were coming to take him for a sleepover in the nursery so I could catch up on some much needed rest from our day that began at 4:30am.
 
Next up: Our time in the hospital
