Jocelyn Grace Bird
August 13, 2011
6lbs 7oz & 18in

Jocee was born 4 weeks early. Her due date was Sept 5.
She had to stay one night longer than Mama in the NICU
 We are all so thrilled to have our baby "Jo-Jo" here.
Violette is so excited to be a big sister!
She already gives lots of loves to her sissy Jo-Jo


Dr. Steve...AKA Uncle Stevie is AMAZING. We LOVE Steve.
This is baby number two that he has delievered for us. I told him he wasn't allowed to go out of town when my babies came or he'd be DEAD MEAT!  Thankfully both our girls decided they didn't want to risk having him gone on an adventure so they came early!

I wouldn't trust my life, or the life of my baby in anyone else's hands. Steve is the greatest!!!
 Mama and Daddy holding their little angel for the first time. . .
BUT...not for long. Because Jocee was so early they had to take her away almost immediately
They had to check her lungs and make sure everything else was okay.
Violette was SO excited to see her new little sister. She gave her a great big hug.
Violette still LOVES her Jo-Jo...but has some days that are hard.
Like throwing a box of wipes at her head,
or punching her...
or smacking her with a comb...
My favorite moments of the day are in the morning,
 Violette gets up and runs to see Jo Jo and gives her a great big hug and kiss...
 It's really so darling to see her that way.

Mama got to steal a moment with her new little one.
 It was so nice to be able to hold her in my arms and finally meet our little miracle baby. She is so beautiful! She gives her Mama so much peace and joy!

My beautiful little Jocee Grace
