Hadley Grace, 7lbs. 7oz., 19.5 inches

Well SHE is finally here! Arrived at 4:11pm today. Mom and baby both did great. Lys ended up pushing only about 15 minutes. She's our third child weighing in at 7lbs 7 ounces which we find humorous/interesting. These girls of ours are just like little carbon copies of each other. We have this "making girls" business down to a science. Daddy could not be prouder to have 4, FOUR, QUAUTRO,四(that's 4 in Chinese), vier(dutch) beautiful little girls. Here are a few pictures to take the edge off. We will ofcourse post more when she's not so swollen and she and mommy come home. Paige and Kennedy got to see her tonight (seperate visits, the camera with pics of KK and Hadley are still at the hospital) and they absoultley LOVE their new baby sister. Both couldn't get enough "holding" time with her tonight and cannot wait to "help" mommy with her. It's going to be an all out cat fight for holding time when they come home we can already tell. Avery is teething again which gives her a pretty little running nose and still has a hacking cough, so she opt to stay home and will have to wait and see Hadley when she comes home probably. We're all excited though that she is finally here and can't wait for the both of them to come home. Hadley has been amazingly quiet and SOOO alert since she was born. Cried the first minute and a half of life, while getting checked, and then for over two hours straight was wide awake and just kept staring at everything with her big eyes and even smiling!! VERY good, calm,CONTENT baby for the first few hours of her life thus far (let's cross our fingers that continues;o). Well I'm beat and am anxious to go sleep in our new King bed all by myself tonight!!! whoo-ohhh. Love you all, thank you for the prayers, we'll post again soon.

Okay - so if our family follows the typical Hohmann family pattern (MAYBE one girl and a whole LOT of boys) we'll have to get our families together for matchmaking. Beautiful girl. You are so lucky that she was so awake so early on. I think I saw Patrick's eyes once in the first three days. :)
