Georgia is here!!!

Well everyone, she has arrived and has been given a name... Georgia!! Which I think is super cute, I can totally see her as a Georgia! No middle name yet, Georgia is a harder name to find something to go along with it, but I'm sure Kathy and Jeff will figure something out!! Sarah is still having a hard time remembering her name, Jessica is doing pretty good, although at the hospital she called her Jayja...or something close to that. I'm sure as soon as their new sister is home that won't happen anymore!

I had the honor of taking the kids to meet their new sister yesterday. I made sure they were all clean before we headed out around 8:30am. They were all pretty excited to go and meet their new sister. When we got into the room Georgia was in her little cradle, so they all were up on their toes trying to get a good look. I took a picture of her, and the flash startled her a bit, although she didn't wake up, but when Jeff came out Jessica told on me the little stinker! She is already filling her role of big sister well! She also told Jeff not to talk close to the baby...i think she's a little over protective, but it's cute!! The kids were excited to see their parents again and to hold Georgia. Jessica was first and did a great job supporting her head. Sarah is a pro and was already rocking her as soon as she started to hold her. Jake still not too sure of who this new baby is and that she's coming home with the family, held his little sister, but her weight became a bit much for him and her head started to droop. I was itching to get my hands on little Georgia, it's been a long wait for her, so I was excited to get my turn. She was so tiny and cute, I didn't want to give her back! But I had to because Sarah wanted another turn...kathy will have a great helper there!! Here are pictures of us holding the newest member of our family...



























Georgia was a star every time we were there today, she didn't fuss or cry at all. While we were there in the morning she had some blood taken from her heel, Jessica prepared herself for crying but Georgia didn't make a peep!! She has a very cute round head just like Sarah did. She doesn't have much hair but from what we can see she has dark hair. Her little hands and feet are really dried out from being overdue, but Kathy and Jeff were given some Vaseline which should help that. We think that she will play the piano too because she has the longest fingers ever!!!


After we visited Georgia in the morning, I took the kids out to run some errands. We went the the dollar store where they were each allowed to pick out a treat, since they were so good visiting their sister and as a congratulations on having a new sister. We then went to Old Navy and they each got to pick one thing for their sister. Sarah chose a little undershirt that is pink with a zebra on in. Jake chose an undershirt that is thin pink and black stripes with a bow on it and Jessica chose a cute purple undershirt with a giraffe on it. I picked out a purple sun suit for her which will be adorable. So after we had gifts we needed balloons so we picked up some balloons for Georgia to take back with us this afternoon. A rest stop was needed so we headed back to the house to make cards for Georgia and have some lunch. Auntie Sonja and Ethan stooped by and we had quite the show...check out Sonja's blog for what happened!! What was super exciting was that Ethan has started to crawl which was super exciting. Someday when I figure out how to put videos on here I'll have to post it!!


Here are a few of the Georgia pictures that I took today...I love all 106 pictures I took today but these are a few of my favorites of just Georgia...

























We headed back down in the afternoon and this time we took uncle Brandon with us to meet his newest niece. Jacob was born when we first started dating so he didn't get to come to the hospital then, so Georgia is the first niece that he's been down to see. Also she is the first one since we've been engaged, so it makes it even more real that this is his new niece! Kathy and Jeff loved our little gifts, Brandon ever went and picked up a gift for Georgia, two beautiful undershirts from GAP, one is a tank style and says Vacation on it, and they other is a beautiful floral print...good choices hunny!! Sarah and Jessica got to hold their sister again as well as auntie Laura since we met her there. Brandon and I also got our turns in. It was hard to leave her because I knew I wouldn't get to go down and see her tomorrow since I have to work! Hopefully Kathy will come visit lots and I plan on making many trips to see my newest niece!!


I hope you have all enjoyed the Georgia update...I'm sure Kathy will get one up as soon as she's settled into life with four kids. We are all so happy for the newest Nelson and feel so blessed to have such a beautiful little girl in our lives. We are hoping that Georgia will be released sometime today...she is a little jaundice today and they are running a few tests, but hopefully she'll be coming home this evening!!! For all the pictures check out my facebook...here are a few more for your enjoyment!! Have a GREAT day!!!!

She is too cute. Being an Aunt is so much fun! I know you already have experience in that area, but it's fun. I wasn't expecting a name like Georgia, but it is cute. Have fun spoiling her.
