More Mei Li!

Here are a few more pictures of Mei Li's arrival.
 Mei Li right after her arrival.  In Alaska they took Abe from Emily right away to do the weighing, measuring, APGAR, etc.  But this time they put Mei Li right on Emily's chest for a long time.  You can tell how she started beaming when she got to hold her.
 Hello little girl!
 The proud Papa with is little girl.
 Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
 The proud parents with their little one.
 I think this is the start of Mei Li's first bath.  She became super-red afterwards.  The pediatrician told us it had something to do with the bloodflow to her as she was being born.
 Hair time.

 Abe came by to visit his new sister with Grandpa David and Grandma Diane on Monday morning.  He ended up spending the day with us.
 It took Abe a little while to warm up to his new sister, but here is is looking at her on the bed.
 Nothing says 'Hello new baby' like a Dick's Deluxe.  Emily's parents picked up some burgers and milk shakes on their way to visit.
 With a pillow (and a little help from an adult) Abe held Mei Li.  He got real into it, and would ask to hold her every now and then.
 Abe likes holding his little sis.
 It had been a long few days for Abe (and Momma).  Here the little ones take a much needed nap.
 When Mei Li's pediatrician came by at night, Abe got to listen to her heartbeat.
 Uncle Scott came by for a visit on Tuesday morning before we were discharged.  Mei Li slept in his arms for a long time.
