A new beginning!

It's an amazing feeling to be a mom. I always wondered how I would adjust, if I would adjust and how hard it would be. Everything has come pretty naturally. I couldn't imagine life without my little Hayleybug. She really is a blessing and a gift! I can't say that my first experience of labor and delivery was the best, but no need for a negative story now. It was all worth it!

Hayley was born on 8/18/08 at 11:33am after more than 34 hours of labor. She weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz and was 19.5 inches long. Here are a few pictures during her first few hours/days.

BABY HAYLEY

She definitely wasn't happy with her first bath.

Here is a picture of some flowers I received. They are actually little baby socks. They look so cute!

Here is a picture of me on my due date, just 3 days before Hayley was born. YOWSER! I was big... he he he
