Hadley Kay is here!

Well as most of you know, Hadley entered the world on February 19, 2009 at 7:49 a.m. She was 7lbs. 10 ozs. and 21inches long. She has a head full of black hair just like her mommy. She is so perfect and we have really been enjoying our time with her. Jared was able to take off two weeks to stay with us and help us get into a routine. Thank God for my amazing husband; I would probably be going crazy if it weren't for him. Giving birth was an awesome experience. It is truly a miracle. Epidurals are the best!!!
We had to stay in the hospital one extra day to get the breastfeeding thing straight. It is not easy. We have tried several different things and we have decided to pump and feed her the breastmilk in a bottle. It works the best for all three of us.
Since we have been home, we have been trying to get a routine established. We are doing pretty well; however, sometimes our little princess decides to remind us that we will have to do things her way. We are sleeping and eating and feeding and in the couple of hours in between we are trying to get things done around the house. We have enjoyed having a few visitors here and there. I must admit that I am ready to get out of the house. It has been too cold to really take Hadley out yet. We go to our first doctor's appt on Tuesday, so that will be nice.
