Welcome, Hadley!

We are so thrilled to welcome Hadley Jayne to our family! She was born on Monday, November 26 at 9:22am after a very quick (as in I hardly got an epidural) labor. She is 6 pounds, 12 ounces of sweet newborn love.



Big brother Thatcher is having more "moments" than we expected. It's hard to see him struggle so much, but we know that it will pass. He is very excited about her in theory and yesterday spent a while showing her all of his Sesame Street stuff, but when a transition comes (meal, bedtime, heading to school), we end up with a very sad little boy. We know that eventually he will fall just as in love with her but right now he's not always so sure.

She is so cute! I know it can be such a hard transition for big siblings (my mom says I was awful when my little brother was born). haha! Hope it passes soon.

She is absolutely beautiful and you are a glowing "new" momma! I'll be praying for Big Brother as he makes this transition and for you as well. It's tough for everyone! So glad you have this wonderful Christmas gift!
