Hannah Has Come!

Hannah made her debut on July 13!  She surprised us a week early and left us scrambling to pull things together, but we were thrilled to welcome her to our family.

There’s nothin’ sweeter than a fresh, wide eyed, slime covered baby!  Especially your own.

Moments after Hannah arrived.   She didn’t cry much and was content from the start.  She was a beautiful slimy mess!  I have to laugh at the exhausted look in my eyes and my crazy hair (that was a ponytail!).

Speaking of hair, long before she was even out, Dr. Million told us she could see dark hair!  I didn’t really care if she was a red head or brunette, but for some reason it was exciting and encouraging to hear that.  I suppose I felt like she was close, for one thing, but I could also start to see her in my mind’s eye.

Soon after Hannah’s arrival, Grandma and Bill brought her brothers to meet her.  They all loved her and took several turns holding her.  It was cute, too, because they were all concerned that I was ok.

Too sweet!

All of my favorite energetic people in one bed!

Day two:I wish this wasn’t blurry, but oh well.

They were trying to get her first smiles :)

First bow.

Ready to head home and begin a life as an only sister!

 

Up to this point Hannah has been a perfectly easy baby, but the newborn stupor hasn’t worn off yet.  We are cautiously optimistic that we have an easy baby!

This go round Jacob and I decided to hold off on having guests at the hospital and just relax together.  Since we only stay 24 hours it has always been stressful to fit in visiting with all the family, resting, feeding baby, and necessary exams.  This time we just lounged around while loving on our baby and napping.  It was pretty nice since we never get alone time.

Next up, her birth story.  Each one has been different.
