Hailey Elyse is here

Yesterday (Saturday) afternoon my wife and I welcomed the newest addition to our family into the world.


Canon EOS Digital Rebel, 50mm fixed, 1/100sec at f/1.8

Haily Elyse was born at 5:42 PM CST on October 22, 2005. She was 19-1/4 inches long and weighed in at a whopping (to us at least) 5 lbs. 15 oz. She was born 35 weeks and 2 days into the pregnancy. I can’t put my happiness into words. I love this little girl so much it hurts.

Hailey, we love you.

Mom is recovering and doing fine. She will spend tonight at the hospital, but should come home tomorrow. Hailey will come home as soon as she is ready.

No music today. There are more important things going on right now. For now I will provide you with a link to Elizabeth Mitchell (of Ida fame). She has a few children’s records that parents and kids can both enjoy.

    It was a pleasure meeting your daughter. I gave y’all a shout out on the CBT. Great photos. I knew you wouldn’t disappoint in that dept.

    We’ll come over as soon as you are ready to take visitors at home.

    Oh, and call the Links.

    Thank you all for the kind wishes. I appreciate them all. Perhaps she should have a little iPod nano, but do they make earbuds for premies? (HA!) Also, since I know everyone is concerned, she was born into a family of Cubs fans, but she was born right before the first Sox World Series win, so we have to wait and see.
