Megan spent the night before with my parents and she was so excited when she found out she was a big sister and that she had a brother! (she always said she wanted a brother) Here she is with Daddy and her very new little brother, Joey.
And as you can see the excitement of having a baby brother didn't last long, at least not when there is an iphone to play with! Personally, I think Grandma Berthold gave her the iphone so she could hold Joey without interruptions!

Wardrobe change...while I was nursing Joey everyone left the room and took a tour of the hospital. Megan played in the kids area for a bit and then went to the gift shop. There she found a "Big Sister" t-shirt. So when she came back to the room she walked in wearing her shirt just as proud as can be. And she still wears the shirt just as proudly!
Priceless!
Megan was so tired after 2 nights at Grandma and Grandpa's house plus the excitement of Joey that she was in tears after leaving the hospital on Day 2. She didn't want to go back to Grandma's house because she wanted to be home when Joey got there. So the compromise was that if she went home she couldn't get off the couch and she had to sleep. This is how we found her when Mark and I brought Joey home for the first time.
She can't get enough of him!
The first night Joey was home, Megan wanted to read him a bedtime story :) All of us were cuddled in Megan's room, a cute little family of 4 (5 if you count Baron) and read the first of many books to Joey. This "tradition" has continued every night since and I love it!
