The newest member of our family, Norah Kaye, arrived October 23rd at 4:56pm.
She weighted 8lbs and 2oz and measured 21inches long!
I would love to tell you that she arrived on time and by her own choice, but I'm afraid she is a little more stuborrn than that!
Little Miss Norah has a mind of her own, which meant I was induced 9 days after her due date!
(I would love to blame her stubbornness on her daddy, but I'm afraid my own birth story is more like hers...who can blame a girl for liking to be warm and cozy?) But I will say once she agreed to her eviction notice she didn't waste any time!!
She has been loved on and cuddled and kissed ever since... and with two big sisters it doesn't show any sign of slowing down.
Biggest sister Cori is doing a wonderful job at being a helper and trying to keep Norah calm when she starts to cry.
Big sister Addi is also being a great help with "diappies" and giving Norah her "mi-mi" (pacifier). She also wants to give lots of "tisses" (kisses).
I know we are only a few days in, but the adjustment is going pretty well so far. Granted we haven't gone anywhere just us girls, so I might change my tune then! So other than waiting what seemed like forever for her arrival, the hardest thing so far was picking her name!! With Cori, she was always Cordelia Grace and when Addi came along, Randy picked Adalynn Jean and we knew that is who she would be. But the third time around was a little more difficult! By this time we have had a TON of friends who have had babies, not to mention in our own families! Some of the names we liked were the same or too similar to names already out there. Plus we wanted her name (like the other girls) to have some meaning behind it. Her middle name was the only one we agreed on... Kaye for my grandpa Kay, meaning "pure". Plus, they share a birthday month and there has already been a little passing down if his name through my mom and myself. But for her first name it was wait and she her... and... well... she just looked like a Norah. Norah means light and we pray that she will be a "pure light" of Christ to the people around her!
Welcome to the world and our hearts and arms little Norah, you are so very loved!
