Baby Girl Jovie

BEAUTIFUL GIRL
We love our new baby girl, Jovie Adeline. She's so pretty and sweet! I don't know how we got along without this little pink wonder. Before she arrived, I thought I would be more comfortable with another boy, but I just love this little girlie so much that I can't imagine anything BUT her. She's perfect.

These are the last pictures of me as the mother of ONE baby, and of us as a three-person family...I think he was making fun of me for most of the last nine months...
I had a little false alarm on Friday so my mom could have all the "fun" of rushing us to the hospital and Popa could play hookie from work and entertain Isaac. Luckily, it was just contractions and not real labor or else TB would have missed it since he was speeding home from a work meeting in Moab. He really did get a ticket and didn't even use the very good excuse that "my wife is in the hospital..."
TB and I went back to the hospital on Saturday morning and I really was in labor this time. Baby girl arrived perfectly on time at 2:35 pm on April 17th. She weighed 6 lbs 10.3 oz (Isaac was 6 lbs 10.5 oz!) and reportedly 17.5 inches long, although she doesn't seem that short. She has dark feathery hair and a really cute face. She has long feet and toes. She looks a little "tan" today, but she's really fair-skinned like me.
I look appropriately shocked five minutes after meeting her, but baby Jovie is just happy and sweet. This is the first time Isaac met Jovie. I wish I could keep this protective shield of glass around her for a few weeks while he gets used to this new big brother lifestyle.She seems to be happy at home - don't let this picture fool you.

Aimee,

Your baby is so cute she does funny things too and her hair in this picture looks spiky too and she is a new baby but I thought you named her Chloe. I love her she's beautiful and she looks cute like Cinderella

Love,

Congratulations, she does look just perfect. I love the bow in her hair. I am so excited to see her really soon. I think you probably should have been a maternity model because I haven't seen that many soon to be moms (again) looking so good right before delivery, but that is not surprising coming from you.

We love her! She looks like a little doll. Your suprised face looks a lot like Isaac. When we showed him the picture of Jovie on my phone before he went to the hospital he furrowed his little eyebrows and looked very concerned. I wish we had gotten a picture. So excited to see you all again!

She is so cute! I love the movie. It seems to be taken in the middle of the night and showing how wide awake she is. I am so glad she has a cute little bow in her hair. Hair accessories have been kind of hard for me to get used to. I love them and I use them. They are just so different than a little boy!
You will learn to love all the pink stuff that comes along with a girl!
Have fun and keep the pictures coming!
