First few days in pictures

In the lavender labor and delivery room at our hospital, Goldenes Kreuz. They let me choose which room, so of course, I chose purple for our little princess!

After a couple short hours of labor and a few minutes of pushing, this little miracle was born!

 First time in Dad's arms

 Early morning hours on her first full day of life.  (Gregory had to leave the hospital a couple hours after birth and wait until visiting hours to return in the morning. I sent him this photo to say good morning!)

 Skyping with Nathanael to introduce his sister.
He was all smiles and wanted her to wake up and open her eyes for him.

Grandpa and Grandma meet Evangeline!
They came while Nathanael was at Kindergarten and brought our overnight bags.

First photo with the three of us

Coming home from the hospital less than 36 hours after birth

Nathanael's first glimpse of his sister in person

Proud brother, proud parents

First time holding his sister

Mom and Nathanael made pumpkin muffins together to celebrate Evangeline's birthday and get some special mother-son time.

We celebrated with champagne after the kids were in bed!

Eva's first bath

We're all doing well, but we are quite tired and not sure how this is going to work once family leaves and it's just the four of us!  We are so thankful for the extra hands, especially to play with Nathanael and help around the house.  And we're thankful that we have a loving God who is sustaining us and will sustain us in the days to come!
