Video of Hannah

Here is a short video of our little girl.

Sorry if it's a little bumpy. Grandma Pulley, you may want to take some Dramamine first!

Enjoy!

Hannah is Here!

Proudly announcing the birth of Hannah at 11:30 am on October 19, 2009. She came after 12 hours of labor and about 6 minutes of pushing by her courageous mom, Erin. Hannah was 8 pounds 5 ounces and 21 inches long at birth. She is happily sleeping, all swaddled and warm. Mommy is looking and feeling great, as well. We feel so blessed to have a beautiful daughter!

Coming soon to a hospital near you...

This is Steve, giving an update on my amazing wife. We have been in the hospital since 1:30 this morning, and Erin has steadily progressed towards birth. Right now she is happily dilated to a 5 and pumping the epidural for more liquid comfort. She would appreciate your prayers in the coming hours!

We will get back with another post, with pictures, as soon as we can. Here's to a healthy baby and Mommy!

Hmmm....

So after a week of a few contractions but nothing steady, Steve decided a nice easy hike to a waterfall would be good. So Saturday afternoon we headed up to Pleasant Grove for a leisurely hike. It was more than leisurely. I was sweating and huffing and puffing my way up. That last few yards were pretty steep, so I didn't even reach the waterfall. Steve and Tyler trekked up and enjoyed the triumph! I was hurting by the time we got home and had consistent contractions for about an hour, then they stopped. Bummer. I thought for sure a hike would send me into labor. Wrong. Oh, well. The guessing game we play when waiting for babies is just their way of preparing us to revolve around them. Here's to hoping something happens this week.

Final Attempts and Fall Feelin'

Doesn't it seem like we went from summer to fall in one day? I've actually turned the heater on and pulled out Tyler's winter pj's. This year I love October more that normal because it is officially baby month. But with the excitement, I have also been feeling the need to get out and do fun things with Tyler while I still can. I know we are going to be house-bound for a few weeks soon and I wanted him to feel special before the baby comes. So the past two weeks have entailed us going to the zoo, going up several canyons to see the fall colors, pumpkin patches and playing with cousins.



On the agenda for this week is a haircut for Tyler, making his robot Halloween costume, and hopefully having a baby early!
