Just one more!

I couldn't help but post this. Her first 'smile' picture. I love her so!

Hannah at home

Well we are home and doing pretty well. She spoiled us rotten the first night by waking up every three hours to eat, then going right back to sleep. Last night, however, was what you typically imagine nights with a newborn to be. Oh, well. She is a great eater, very calm, and as sweet as they come. It is going to take me a while to find the balance between holding her, sleeping, getting things done, and trying to give Tyler the attention he needs. Thank goodness for mothers and mother-in-laws!

Tyler seems to be coping well. He is a little more hyper than normal, but that is to be expected. The moment he walked in the room to meet her, he came over to ask me if he could give her a hug. I'm hoping that is a good sign. He will give her a hug or kiss, then not notice or touch her for hours. He seems so big now too. I keep thinking he's big enough for kindergarten or something!

I sure do love these two little ones!

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!
