Baby Brover

Baby Brover received visits from his twin sisters (also know as "mother hens") yesterday and today.

Yesterday they were the first visitors to meet Baby Brover. The nurses allowed them into the room briefly while we were getting situated. Then they joined the rest of our family in the waiting room until everyone visited an hour or so later. At that time, they got to oversee Baby Brover's bath. Lauren started crying, in empathy and wanted the bathing to stop. Everyone calmed down once George was settled and allowed to rest -- at least everything was calm until time for Grammie to leave with the girls. I knew Gracie cried a good bit as she was saying goodbye. Then, after she left, the nurses assigned to us came in to see if I was ok. I did not fully put one and one together until I learned later that Gracie wailed all the way down the hallway and to the car. She recovered her composure once lunch plans were made at Chili's with Lexy (cousin LEXY!!!) and Auntie Melinda.

Crisis averted.

During the return trip today, the girls held baby brother, sang to him, and took good care of him.

Everything worked out well until departure time again when Gracie started crying for George to go home with them.

I am not sure if this is unwavering devotion or a ploy for better lunch plans.
