Jillian's Journal

Things were different from the very start of the day today. Mommy and Daddy were not home when I woke up this morning. Grandma and Grandpa Kauser got me out of my crib. They explained that Daddy took Mommy to the hospital for the birth of my baby brother. Then they took me to the library for story time and next to the park while we waited for Mommy to give birth. Ironically, just about the same time I fell asleep for my afternoon nap my baby brother was born into this world at 1:41 PM. As if my day wasn't strange enough already, I woke up to find Grandma and Grandpa Moore at the house. They explained they drove up from San Antonio and during the middle of my nap they relieved Grandma and Grandpa Kauser so they could go to the hospital and visit their daughter and new grandson. So twice now I've awakened to a new set of family members! Who's next? Grandparents Moore picked up a Happy Meal for me from MacDonalds drive through and then finally, we were off to the hospital. I finally met Eric at 4:45 PM. My brother looked like a fancy new baby doll to me. The neatest toy I'd ever seen. Daddy held him close to me and I was so happy, until he started to cry! I cried too. I didn't understand..was he hurting? I had a melt down the first two times he cried. Daddy explained that Eric needed to cry to tell us when he was hungry, or tied, or wet, and that's just how babies talk. It was weird to see both my grandparents together, this was a first for me. Daddy and both my grandpas took pictures of course. Very strange day.

I'm a big sister!
