As our family has made this beautiful transition in welcoming Janie, we sure have been thankful for our help from Grandma Jan and Grandma Carol. Grandma Carol came over early to spend time with Clara and keep some comfort and consistency for her while we were at the hospital. Grandma Jan came to be a part of the labor and was able to stay and enjoy Janie's first week along with us. Having the extra help was almost essential with the second child so that we could focus on bonding with our new little one trusting that Scout was in good hands.
Gem's name in fact is variations of our mothers' names. Janie after Grandma Janis (both names are from the same root and mean "God's grace") and Caroline after Grandma Carol. We are so thankful for our wonderful mothers, how much they have shaped our lives and their important role in the lives of our sweet little ladies. 
*Of course we have great Dads as well, and our girls are lucky to have them, it's just that Grandmas are a little more "hands on" during this phase.
