Waiting



After Renae, Kevin & Elicia left our house, we went into prepare and wait mode. Since Cecilia came 3 weeks early, we were sure this baby would do the same. Since he had his own plan, we found ourselves waiting.



We called Oma and invited her to come early to ensure she was here for the birth. She arrived on Sunday and Atticus arrived 1.5 weeks later on Wednesday.


We were all grateful for the extra Oma-time. Cecilia loved the extra attention & one-on-one time she got to spend with her Oma!



We enjoyed the company, the wonderful smiles, and the help she bestowed upon us!
We were truly spoiled by all of her help and love! She cooked, cleaned, took care of Cecilia while we went out to dinner & movies (we recommend watching Lincoln), grocery shopped, searched high and low for a changing table at second hand stores (which she found, bought and assembled for us:)
