We got home from the hospital with Hunter a little while before Hailey came home from school.  She was so happy we were there when she got home.

The very proud big sister with her new baby brother.

Hailey couldn’t wait for Dottie to meet Hunter so it was time for an introduction:

Dottie checking to see what Hailey was holding.

Hunter taking a little nap in his bed… and by little nap I do mean little nap.  He doesn’t like to sleep for very long unless someone is holding him.

Hunter wearing his pajamas from Hailey, all ready for bed in the cradle.  Hailey used this cradle when she was born and I slept in it as a baby as did my brothers.

We are so happy and feel so blessed with our family!

Hunter Andrew arrived on December 16th at 10:25am.  He weighed 9 pounds and was 20.5 inches long.

Hailey brought some presents for Hunter- she’s showing him the Lion King stuffed animal she got for him.

Hunter’s other big sister Brooke stopped by to visit him.

Hunter had some other visitors too.  These were his gift to Hailey and she thought they might like to see what he looked like.

One of the really neat things about Hunter’s birthday is that on the very same day- 12 hours and 20 minutes later, his cousin Britany was born down the hall!

Hailey and Hunter  We are very blessed!!

Hailey made several pictures for Hunter and hung them on his crib.

Hunter all ready to go home!

37 weeks, 3 days

We have been busy getting Hailey’s old playroom ready to be the baby’s bedroom.  Here are some pictures of the room before:

Busy working:

Hailey helping set up the crib- the crib she used to sleep in… sniff sniff.

Trying out her hard work to make sure everything was done correctly.

Hailey helping some more.

The big helper!  She helped with everything that was done in the room- from setting up the crib to folding and hanging up clothes.  She is so excited about her little brother!!

Now we’re just waiting for the Little Man Cub to arrive
