Peter Jeffrey



Andrew was hesitant to hold Peter for several minutes, until James said, "Andrew, catch!" He quickly put both hands out, and "caught" the baby.


Grandpa Hill arrived the day before Peter was born. The timing was a tender mercy. Andrew fell in love with Grandpa. The morning after Grandpa Hill left, Andrew brought me two fruit cups. He handed me one and said, "Andrew" and handed me the other and said, "Granpa!"


Pointing to his 'mandible'





Andrew went on a special date with Daddy and chose this outfit for his little brother. (Mommy had to bite her tongue when she saw the non-winter friendly outfit, but we had plenty of blankets...)


Homeward bound!


We were SOOOO excited to go home!


Abby and her wonderful, wonderful 'birthing companion'


Regulation states the carseat handle must be lowered completely down. This required the drivers seat to be pushed all the way forward, making for a tight fit!


Grandpa Hill offering Peter his first stool softner (in the form of a prune). He didn't take it, nor did he need it!


Thank you Grandpa Hill!!!

Congratulations Abby and James (& Andrew on being a big brother)! We're excited to see your cute little Peter and that you all seem to be doing well. Also, we've been inspired by you to try out hypnobirthing with this next baby boy. :) We hope you are all doing great and adjusting to 2 little boys! How fun!

Aw! Yay! You are home! Congratulations you guys! I have to say, he's a cutie! Love the name too. He looks a bit like Andrew did if I am not mistaken. Can't believe we both have more than one now! Just days ago we were hypno-ing together! :) Anyway, I did a double take at the pictures where Andrew is pointing to and kissing Peter. Zach has that same shirt and basically the same kind and color hair. It REALLY looked like Zach to me! They are twins! :)

Being with you to welcome Peter into your family is one of the truly profound and most wonderful experiences of my life. Thank you for having me!

I love you!
