Phoebe Photos!


I know it’s late (I'm rationalizing staying up this late because I took a nap earlier!), but I just had to get online and share a few photos of our little Phoebe. I’m still not feeling well enough to go see her, but Shalae and Jon have been sending photos via e-mail for me to enjoy.

The doctor told me I need to wait at least 12 hours once my temperature is normal before going to see Phoebe (or her family, for that matter). I have NEVER taken my temperature so many times in a day! And I’m grateful to say that it was lower today than yesterday.

You’ll think I’m silly, but I had a friend buy me a second thermometer today just to be sure I was getting an accurate reading. Pretty desperate, huh? Unfortunately, the reading wasn't any different! I’m just so excited to start my week of staying with the Browns—something I promise the girls I’ll do after each child is born. Maybe soon…


Ashton (older) and Cooper love their baby sister and want to know if she can play trains with them or if she can nap on the playset (maybe the slide???) while they play outside. Shalae tells them that the day will come, but for now they need to be happy just holding her. I know I'm happy seeing these pictures!

I'm off to bed now, but you can bet I'll share more photos soon. . . .

Phoebe is absolutely beautiful! Hope you are feeling well enough to see her soon. I especially love the pic of Cooper holding her and he's pursing his lips as he points to hers - just darling!

Miss Phoebe is so sweet and the pictures of her bothers with her are priceless!

What a time to feel ill! I hope it goes away quickly so you can go smother that tiny little baby girl with kisses!

Oh my word - your grandchildren are ALL beautiful! And Phoebe is certainly no exception - I hope you are feeling better very soon so you can go visit (I'm sure Shalae is anxiously awaiting her one week of assistance too!). :)

Shelly, the pictures of your new grandchild are beautiful and I think that the pictures of the baby with siblings are publishable. Is Jon a professional photographer? He definitely caught the moment with the children. Do hope that you recover quickly from your bug so you can spend that special time with Phoebe and family. Thanks for sharing part of your life with the rest of us.

Could she be any more beautiful? Oh my gosh, that is such a wonderful photo of her by herself but I absolutely adore the one of her with Cooper, he looks so enamored with her. Ashton looks like a very protective big brother! Congratulations again to the whole clan on this wonderful gift! And Shelli, please take care of yourself and get well soon! We all want you to be able to spend your week with Shalee, Phoebe, Ashton, Cooper and of course Jon!
