Ellie is liking her new role of being a big sister, as you can see from the photo. She says that Aidan "cries a lot and drinks Mommy's milk," which is very true! She loves to tickle his feet and hold his hand. He mostly just stares at her (when he's awake), but we're sure this is the beginning of their special life-long sibling bond.
We've got some new pictures for you to see in our Ellie/AJ September 2008 album.
Well, the suspense is over -- our baby boy, Aidan Joseph McCracken was born on Wednesday September 3, 2008 at 12:22 pm. Jim and I were both surprised to have a boy, since having a girl is all we have known for the last 21 months. We look forward to having new experiences with a boy and Ellie is excited to be a big sister to Aidan/AJ.
Aidan was on the "small" side at 8 lbs,8 oz (compared to Ellie's 9lbs,14 oz at birth) and 21 inches long. He's very calm so far, eating well, liking to sleep and doing so quietly. We expect to go home on Saturday afternoon.
Ellie is enjoying the attention she's getting from Papaw Tom and Linda who are spoiling her at our house while Mommy and Daddy are in the hospital. She has been interested in AJ the two times she's come the see him and we hope that feeling will last once he moves into "her" house!
Take a look at some of our first photos of Aidan and family and we'll keep adding more!
