Mary Caroline arrived at home on Easter Sunday at around 4:00 PM. Her sisters were with their grandma so she was greeted by Barkley with a few sniffs and a wagging tail. Poor guy is so outnumbered now!
After we felt the house was ready I went to get Kate and Anne and Tami stayed home to feed Mary. When I got to Grandma's house the girls were being treated to an Easter celebration to end all Easter Celebrations. The Easter Bunny tracked the girls down and left baskets and eggs galore.
All the way home Kate kept asking about Mary Caroline and if she would be able to hold her. She told me that she really loves Mary Caroline and can't believe that she's ours! Anne said the same thing but with much fewer words. "Baby!" she said over and over!
When the girls got out of the van at home they both ran into the house and went directly to where Mary Caroline was. They both begged and pleaded to hold Mary. Then Kate saw that the Easter Bunny had also come to our house so she let Anne hold Mary first. Anne did great holding Mary this time and was very gentle and sweet. Kate is a natural. When it came to be her turn she was just wonderful holding her and after a while she got to give her a little bit of a bottle. Anne of course wanted to feed her too. She said "me me me Milk" until finally it was her turn. She did great too.
Mary Caroline slept in bed with Tami and me and did pretty well. She was hungry a lot and woke up every hour or so but she is very mild natured and didn't wake up the whole house. Anne did wake up in the middle of the night and asked Mommy about the baby. It is so cute just how curious she is about her new baby sister. I think the first day at home was a wonderful success. Everyone is healthy, happy and content.
