A few hours after Averien was born Enoch went to the house and brought Grandma Heileson and the kids back to the hospital to see her. They were so excited. Enoch had told Kaelen at home that his baby was born. He was excited to go see her. When he finally did see her he looked at her touched her head, said "baby" and then ran around the room. He found out that there was an area outside my room with snack foods in it and so he was excited to watch TV and eat pudding.
Rachel was so excited. We couldn't get her to stop smiling. She was so excited to finally have her sister here and to hold her. Rachel is going to be the best big sister. I know that she will do anything for her little sister.
Jacob came in wearing a mask. Jacob was sick a few days before and he still had a cough so we had him wear a mask when he held Averien. We didn't want her to get sick. He was so excited to hold her but isn't the best at holding her head. He'll figure it out though.
Grandma was so excited to hold and see her newest Grand baby. It was fun to see every bodies different reactions to her.
Everyone stayed about an hour or more and left after Kaelen starting running around the halls and causing problems for us in the room. Rachel and Jacob did not want to leave. We promised them though that they would come in the evening and watch a movie on the flat screen in the room.
Later in the evening they did come over and with dinner for them and a movie that they rented. We watch Shrek Forever After. It was fun to have the kids sitting on the bed with me or on the couch in the room watching a movie together like that. It was a fun family experience that we had. Enoch took the kids home after. Grandma Heileson stayed the night with the kids and Enoch came back to the hospital to sleep on the pull out couch.
Enoch said that in the evening while getting dinner with the kids and going to other places Kaelen kept asking where Mom was and when we could see the baby. It was nice to know that he wanted to see Averien and that he missed his mom.

You have such a cute little family!! I am so excited for you guys. I can hardly believe your labor story!! You are lucky it was fast
I remember this day. I came to your house first right after driving home from Boise and they were all excited because they were able to go over and meet their sister. I talked to mom and Enoch about your birthing story for a minute and they were out the door. I'll never forget Jacob said to me "did you know my mom had a baby?" I thought it was so cute.
