Here's Rayna and her bunny "Joan". We all went to the Mall of America and visited the Build a Bear Workshop. Brock picked out a monkey and named him George. My mom made this bunny for Rayna and named her Joan. They are pretty close in size right now.
It took awhile but Brock finally let me take some pictures of him with Rayna. He loves his sister and is so good with her. He likes to toss her diapers away for me. She was trying to get her fingers in her mouth and Brock is trying to help her.
Side by side
I love this picture...she's looks so peaceful.
Here's my favorite so far!
These photos are all in reverse order. For some reason, when I choose them to put on the blog, they get stacked in the wrong order. I usually take the time to copy, paste and then delete the duplicates and put them in the correct order, but I am on a tight time line today so you'll have to think backwards.
Vero made me an delicious chocolate cake with strawberries and fresh whip cream for my 34th birthday. She rushed it over and nearly had a breakdown as it started to melt in the hot sun during rush hour's stop and go traffic. It was wonderful! Thank you so very much for think of me.
Brock and Daddy sharing a hot dog or sausage of some kind that they got at the hardware store. I had Rayna on Thursday evening and decided I was ready to go home by Saturday afternoon. Our house was quite busy on Sunday. Juan was fixing our main floor bathroom and Frank and Vero came over to work on the front of the house. Vero watched Brock for most of the day while Josh and Frank put up our new wood trim by or front door. Thanks Juan, Frank and Vero!
Vero painted with Brock as Rayna and I got some fresh air after a nice nap!
It was a hot day...here we are. It's Sunday so Rayna is 3 days old in this picture. She has grown so much already and she's only 13 days old today! (I'll get more pictures up soon)
Remember when I said these were in reverse order? Here's Daddy sleeping with Rayna in the hospital. This is the chair that Josh had to sleep in while we were there. It reclines to an "almost" flat position. What a trooper!
This is the first time Rayna really opened her eyes for us. She just had her first bath in the hospital and is under a heat lamp getting all toasty. She just stared and us as if she was trying to memorize everything about our faces. I love this little girl so much!
Her first bath. She didn't really like it but she tolerated it well.
Here I am at some point during the induction. My mom and step-dad brought Brock by before his nap to see me. He did not want to leave my side the entire time he was there. You can see he brought "his baby" with him.
There she is! All slimy and covered in goo!
Just minutes old.
Our first photo together. They are putting me back together as this picture is being taken.
Brock meets Rayna. He couldn't stop looking at her. Rayna is pronounced "RAY-nah". My mom's name is Joan so that's how we chose her middle name.
Proud Grandma Joan

Rayna's first night...just a few hours old.
Nana and Grandpapa say hello. Rayna had lots of guests while we were in the hospital. Britta, Matt, Ben, Emily, Brayden and lots of friends. Thank you for all of your love and support. We are so excited to finally meet our little angle. We love you Rayna!
Here's his delicious cake. It was chocolate with chocolate mousse filling.
Here we are in Chuck E Cheese. 
Brock giving the camera a kiss
There were these fountain outside of Chuck E Cheese and Brock has a blast playing in the water. It has been very hot the last few days so the cold water must have felt refreshing.
Daddy and Brock bought Mommy some flowers for Brock's party. Aren't they pretty? 
My mom and her husband Juan are in town for the baby's birth. They watched Brock on Wednesday night so Josh and I could enjoy one last night out. We went to Crave and had a wonderful meal. When we came home we gave Brock a bath and I let him paint my belly.
