Hailey Anne Fete!!!

Our little girl is here!!! Hailey Anne arrived on Monday afternoon at 4:10 pm. It was a much longer labor than I had hoped for (who really hopes for a long labor though!) but in the end she was born healthy and I was healthy and that's all that matters. She weighed in at a hefty 8 lbs (bigger than everyone thought but I do make big babies!) and 20 1/2 inches long. She has a crazy head of hair that is so cute. Hopefully she will keep it so that I can buy some cute things for her hair!!


Welcome to the world Hailey Anne! What a head of hair!

Happy and content under the warmer!
All wrapped up!

We came home from the hospital on Wednesday and have been settling into a routine here. She had her first dr visit this morning and she weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz and everything looks great. She is a great eater which is nice. The first night home was pretty good but last night was a little hairy. She is just soooo sweet though!

The boys are doing great with her. Jack and Will just cannot get enough and want to hold her all the time. Andrew hasn't held her since day one at the hospital but for the most part is sweet towards her. He likes to make her music and throw her diapers away! He did announce today that he liked his baby sister Hailey so I guess that is a good sign. Tim has been off all week which has been a lifesaver. He has been playing Mr. Mom chauffeuring kids back and forth to school. I think he has a new appreciation for what I do everyday now! He may be off for a few days next week as well. My mom is coming tomorrow so that will be a great help as well. My dad is coming the following Saturday so we will be busy!

Here are some pictures from Hailey's first few days!
Will was the first brother to hold her...soooo proud!
Jack has been waiting a long time for this!
Andrew is not quite sure- this is the only time that he has held her so far!
Jack loves her hair!
The boys came back again the next day to visit! All four kiddos together for the first time!
Sleeping peacefully.....
