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. . . .

Oh my goodness Shelli - what a precious little girl. Phoebe's beautiful. And the photos you've shown take my breath away with the love that is shown in the faces of all the children. Especially the little guy pointing to her mouth - too cute. Blessings upon you and your family! Joan

Welcome baby Phoebe! (love that name)

I'm so sorry you haven't had a chance to bond yet and hope you feel better soon!

Congratulations on the wonderful new addition to your family. The photo of the two boys with their little sister is priceless and would be such a perfect image used on Christmas cards. Both boys have such a sweet look of wonder and adoration and that reflects what Christmas is all about.

Shelli,
My granddaughter, Kate was born August 2, 2008. Like your granddaughter, she has a loving brother. The picture is beautiful. There is such joy when a child is born. Just found your blog today. You are an inspiration. Thanks for being the person that you are.

[Stephanie Rodgers]

The picture of Cooper with his baby sister is soooo precious! They are all adorable photos & children, but I just love how his little brow is starting to furrow while gently tempting to touch her.

[Judi Parker]

What stunning pictures. She is one beautiful baby and that picture of her older brother holding her and looking up hugs the soul. Congratulations and glad too that you are feeling better. Get a third termom, maybe both of those are wrong.

[Megan Hoeppner]

What a blessing and a joy! This little girl is a beautiful addition to your beautiful family! Congratulations to you, Shalae and the rest of the Gardner/Brown crew!

BTW, your blog is so fun. I'm happy to see you in blog-land. I'll definitely be checking in to see how you and yours are doing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and inspiration with the world in this way!

Cheers!

I am a new SU demo, and was given a link to your blog. (I'm in Meg Loven's area) Well...not only did I have fun looking at contests winners, I found the pics of your PRECIOUS grandchildren! WOW! As much as I love looking at stamping websites, nothing compares to the unique creations of each of God's children! All 3 of those kids are adorable! (And Phoebe looks like she's modeling a little Bella Rose outfit!! ;-) )
