4-02-02 A visit to the hospital

"Oo! I get to go see baby Jenna!" Hannah cried excitedly when we told her about Jenna. We were planning on visiting Maddie, Adam, Jenna, and Mikey today.
I dressed Hannah in her pink corduroy jumper and combed her wet hair into a ponytail. I buckled up her pink flowered Mary Jane shoes and set her on the couch. I turned and grabbed my shoes. Jordan picked Hannah up and took her to the car.
" Daddy, no more tickles!" Hannah squealed. Jordan was tickling her and she was giggling like crazy.
"All ready," I say and grab Hananh's diaper bag. I hop (well, not exactly hop..) in the passenger seat beside Jordan. Jordan turns the key in the ignition and pops in Hannah's favorite bible tape. We drive for 15 minutes and Hannah is asleep in her carseat. I tuck a small pillow under her drooping head and covered her with a blanket. I took Laymie out of her bag and put her in the carseat. I reclined my chair and let the vibration and soft lull of the car put me to sleep.
"Mommy! Wake up! We're dere!" Hannah said softly as she tapped on my eyelids.
"Hannah, honey, no! Don't wake up Momma! She's sleeping!" I heard Jordan whisper in an attempt to stop Hannah from awakening me.
"Too late, Jordan. I'm up. Let's go see Jenna."
Jordan grabs a squirming Hannah and I struggle to wake up all the way. I manage to lift myself out of my comfortable seat. We walked into the hospital and up to the information desk.
"Madelyn Dykema's room number, please."
"And who may I ask is visiting?" the lady said pleasently.
"Holly Murray and family."
She pressed a button on the intercom and I heard Maddie's voice.
"Holly Murray and family are here to see you. May they come up?"
"Yes, that's fine. Send them up." I heard Madelyn say.
"Room number 203. 2nd floor."
We got into the elevator and I let Hannah push the 2nd floor button. The elevator began to ascend and Hannah motioned for Jordan to put her down. She wobbled around the elevator a bit, and then finally fell and landed on her diapered behind. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Adam was there with Mikey in his arms. Hannah stood up and took my hand as we headed put of the elevator.
"Right this was to Le Madelyn's room," he said in a Frenche accent, his arms sweeping in a downward jesture. He led us to room 203, and there was Madelyn, holding Jenna. I picked up Hannah and carried her over to the bed.
"Hi, Hannah Banana!" Madelyn said playfully. Hannah peered at Jenna with the cutest expression. Her eyes were as big as dinner plates.
"Wow. Baby," Hannah said, still peering at Jenna. Jenna, who was sleeping, opened her eyes.
"Baby Jenna has bwue eyes, just like Mikey!"
Jenna began to cry, and Hannah leaned over.
"It;s okay, baby Jenna," she said and kissed her on the forehead. It was so cute. I handed Hannah over to Jordan when Madelyn asked me if I wanted to feed Jenna. I took Jenna in my arms, and sat on the couch. I grabbed the bottle Adam gave me and let Jenna latch onto the nipple. I started humming softly, and by the time she was done eating, Jenna was asleep..
"Momma, can I hold baby Jenna?"
I looked over at Maddie and she nodded yes.
"Hannah honey, hop on the couch and you can hold her."
Hannah did as she was told and I handed the baby to her. I scooted over and helped Hannah hold Jenna's head up. Jenna began to screw up her face, and Hannah kissed her new baby cousin on the forehead. Once again, Hannah displays her adorableness. I took Jenna back and gave her to Madelyn. We left soon after, when the nurse took Jenna away, and Maddie (accidently) fell asleep.
On the way back out to the car, Hannah was chattering away.
"Will our baby look like that Momma?"
"All babies look different. Our baby will probably look lke you!"
Hannah was silent. I could tell she was thinking hard.
"How will it look like me?' she finally asked. So I began in on the whole 'baby' process, excluding the inappropriate parts.
"Oh..." Hannah said when I was finished and sat back in her carseat.
We arrived home and I unstrapped Hannah and took her inside. I made her some orange juice and gave her a snack of Teddy Grahms. Then I put her down for her afternoon nap. It was 2:00 then, and the baby story was on. I sat on the sofa in the living room, pushed the recliner button, and flipped on a baby story.
"Holly, I'm going grocery shopping. Anything special you want me to pick up"
"Did you grab the list on the fridge?"
"Yeah."
"Could you also pick me up some Dr. Pepper? Thanks hon, I really appreciate it."
"Sure can do...," He said, walking over. He bent down, and kissed my hand "My lady."
I laughed as he kissed me on the forehead.
"Get out of here!" I said, slapping him softly on the arm.
He headed out and I snuggled down with Jack to watch baby story.
More Later....

Love,
Holly
