Sloane Annabelle!

On May 17th we were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Sloane Annabelle. She made quite the entrance into this world as I barely made it to the hospital in time to deliver her! We got into our room at 4:30 a.m. and she was born at 5:25 a.m. There was no time for an epideral, an IV, or any drugs (which I was VERY unhappy about), but luckily I only pushed for 10-15 minutes so the pain was quickly forgotten. Things happened so fast that I wasn't even admitted into the hospital until AFTER I delivered her. Definitely a story we will never forget! :)

Sloane is such a sweet baby and reminds me a lot of her brother. She doesn't cry much at all and loves to be held all the time. She's eating every 3 hours and sleeping most of the day. Now, we just need her to sleep for longer stretches at night! She loves her hands to be held and enjoys lots of kisses. Bennett has been extremely sweet and gentle with her. We knew he'd be a great big brother. We are loving every second with our little girl and can't wait to watch her grow.

Train Date

Jules and I took the kids for a ride on Caltrain this morning. They had so much fun and chatted the entire way. I think the highlight was holding up their tickets to show the conductor. They didn't let go of their tickets the entire ride. Afterwards, we went to Starbucks for juice and a pink donut. Let's just say the mommies are worn out! Two funny quotes from B on the train:

"Julie! We're going to the Giants game!" There is a day game today and the train was full of Giants fans.

Julie to the kids: "You guys will have to tell your daddies about your ride this morning."
B: "Justin?"
Julie: "Is Justin your daddy?"
B: "No, Justin is my friend."
