O.K. I promised more pictures so here they are. This is our first official family photo. Notice that Coolidge is safely behind glass :0)
Here is Coolidge hanging out in his crib. The bump where his knee should be is actually his foot. He will be swimming in his clothes for a while till he can beef up.


We were able to visit Coolidge in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) any time we wanted. Andersen was too sweet with Coolidge.


This is a picture of us on our way to the hospital. It's show time! That smile on my face threw off my nurse when we checked in. She thought she had plenty of time because I didn't look like I was in pain.




Joann and Travis watched our boys while we were in the hospital. She is a blessing! They came and visited us in the hospital and brought the whole crew (her two and our three).




Their favorite place to play, behind the bed. Here is Jordan wiggling his way in there.




I was out of the hospital by Wednesday, but we weren't able to take Coolidge home until Thursday. Here are the boys checking him out.



Then they each had to have a turn holding him. Here is Campbell. He is the sweetest with Coolidge. He is just fascinated by how small everything is on him. I love to see their tender sides.


Porter is great with Coolidge and I don't have to worry about Porter holding him. He's a natural big brother.


And Mason always wants to hold him, but for him, "holding" him means Coolidge lying in his lap while he holds a piece of Coolidge's hair and sucks his thumb. My hair used to reign supreme, but I think Mason prefers Coolidge's hair now (I don't blame him, it's so soft).


Mason just can't get enough of Coolidge. He's always looking over the edge of his crib and waves to him. I am so blessed to have such wonderful boys!

Yeah, more pictures! I've been keeping an eye out. I told Will that I was worried that you hadn't posted yet and was hoping everything was okay. He said that I was crazy because you were probably just super busy with FOUR boys! I'm so impressed by your detailed blog when you have a newborn and 3 other little people to watch out for.

You look so beautiful and I am really impressed with that big smile while you were in labor. You'll have to tell me the story sometime. What a handsome bunch of boys you have. I also love to see the softer side of the Grigg men. They are a great crew, all of them! Love you all and congrats again.

PS I just watched the video and Coolidge is SOOOO precious. I can't believe how tiny he is. I wish that we could see him while he is so little. By the time you guys move out this way he is going to be a strapping big Grigg boy! You guys do good work. ;)

Wow!! Congratulations!! It's your number one choir director here (hence my online identity). Sure miss having you around. My alto section is suffering from near extinction!! I hope when you are up to it you join your new ward choir. We have women's volleyball arranged at the church one night a month. Can't wait to get started with that. I'm sure gonna miss playing with you. I always knew that you would get to the ball. Good luck in your new place!

He is so precious! The boys are all darling with him. Don't you just want to eat him up?

Awwwwwwww! I still want to hold him. I haven't gotten to yet. I loved the video. My favorite part is when he's trying to open his eyes and smacking his lips at the same time and the fact that he is so tiny just makes every little thing he does so cute. The pictures of the boys holding Coolidge is awesome. I love the one of Mason looking into Coolidge's crib. They're going to be close, that's sweet. And I cracked up laughing that Mason would do his tumb suck and hair massaging on Coolidge's hair, I can just picture it. I love my nephews!!! And you too of course.

Oh my gosh he is too precious! And your kids are too cute with him. They are going to be great big brothers! For a while at least... until the torchering of the youngest brother begins... hehe.. I love that you leave videos of the kids, they are so great!

Wow! You are amazing! He is adorable. He looks just like your other boys but a little smaller. Ohhh. I just want to come and hold him and chase the other boys around so that you can get some sleep. Hopefully Nana is doing the trick. Love you!
