Max has been so very excited along this whole journey. Before we were even expecting Grace he wanted a baby pretty badly after seeing most of his friends have babies join their families. Last year during his prayers he said " Dear Jesus, if you could send a baby to our family they would have the best time"
We waited a few weeks to tell him that there would be some one joining our family. From day dot he said it would be a little sister because about 80% of his friends have had little sisters. He has been very helpful in suggesting names he really liked Isabella which happens to be the name of Ethan's little sister.
With permission of the hospital I was able to take him up yesterday morning to visit Grace for the first time. He was very quiet and behaved so well on the way into the hospital. He whispered to Grace pretty much the whole time introducing himself and giving a running commentary.
He checked her out and made comments constantly about how cute and beautiful she is. Grace opened her eyes and appeared to check him out for a while.
Max was able to help give Grace a bath with the midwife which he thought was the best thing ever.
After daycare Max and I went and bought Grace and Mum some presents. We got a really lovely purple orchid and Max picked out a Hello Kitty as Grace's first teddy bear.
