Juliet Vai Palmer aka Jules

Jules last few hours in her "itty bitty living space"!

If you can't read the numbers below it says that this beautiful girl weighed in at 9 lbs 9.6 oz.  after  her graceful exit from the womb. In my Perinatologist's words she "took over the ship". Meaning that she was very efficient at getting all the sugar she wanted from my bloodstream. Interestingly enough she has continued to show signs of being very efficient and adjusting quickly. Dallin and I decided she will probably be the "Ashley" of our family- the organized one who gets things done ( and arranges all the fun partying!)

 Our first family photo of four! 

(If you can't tell, Mitchie's shirt says BIG BRO!)

 Our beautiful girl! And she is as sweet and patient as she is beautiful!

 Our trip to the zoo before their daddy had to leave again. Jules found a friend. The slightly hidden giraffe behind us was born only four days before Jules! So fun! (Unfortunately for Jules she spent almost the entire trip to the zoo safely hidden from all the germs inside her cute carseat and carseat cover.)

 Jules received her first bath in her bathtub by Grandma MaryAnn and the crew who were very excited to help!

 My life as a full time mom has now officially begun! I am finally getting to do all the things I want to with and for  my children! And I am loving it! What a blessing it is to be able to be at home with my AMAZING kids! 

I really wanted to try taking Jules newborn pictures so two locations, one awesome grandma's help, an exhausted baby (and big brother) and 4 hours later here are the result! (These are a few of my favorites.)

We feel so blessed to have Jules in our family! She is a sweet, content, patient and beautiful little girl!





p.s. Next up will be a report on Mitchie and hopefully the result on Moe's mission! I still can hardly believe she is going!
