Jacob wrote a letter (below) to his sister the night she was born. She will be so loved and protected by him. He looks pretty proud considering he continuously stated he wanted a little brother and no part of a girl in the family - definitely love at first sight.
Dear Little Ava,I love you with all my heart and soul. You will be the best sister and I know that you will have a loving family. Hope you like the pillows I made just for you.
Love, Jacob
Then I will always sing praises to your name as I fulfill my vows day after day. Psalm 61:8 NLT
We came home late saturday afternoon and settled in. Yesterday we took her to have her levels checked for jaundice. They had risen since saturday so a body wrap with telephoto lights was delivered to the house. They call it a blanket but it is stiff and hard. She has to be wrapped in it with only a diaper on until her levels come down. She has been very tolerant to this considering she went from being tightly swaddled in a soft blanket to this. The nurse will come to the house and check her levels this afternoon. Hopefully this will only take a couple of days to clear up. We know how blessed we are to have had such a good delivery and the blessing of little Ava from above.
