Hello Ruby!

Tuesday, May 17 we headed to Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, CA. It is the same hospital where I was born, as well as Norah and my dad.

Ruby Barbara Potter was born at 1:35p weighing in at 8 lbs and 20 inches. John and I both have grandmothers we love named Barbara and we like using family names as middle names, so that's the reasoning behind Barbara. Ruby we just liked. This was my first time meeting her, while I was still in the middle of surgery.

Mia's first time meeting and holding Ruby.

Norah meeting Ruby

Norah just loves her little sister. She was all about the kisses when she first met her and she still gives Ruby kisses almost every time she sees her, which is hard because Norah caught a cold! It's hard to get her to just kiss Ruby's feet.

First family pic!

The girls liked getting doctor hats (can't get it to turn for some reason...weird)

The girls cut out hearts and taped them to my window so when they came to visit they could look up and know which room was mine. I loved it!

Ruby had a heart cut out for her too :)

Now Ruby is one week old and is doing fabulous. She sleeps more than any of my other girls did which I can't complain about! She has slept for 7 and 8 hours the last two nights! The girls are adjusting well to her so far and we are having fun with John home. Hooray for 4 weeks of paternity leave!
