Arya Hazel is here!!

Some of those tricks I tried must have worked because Arya Hazel was born on May 3, 2012 at 12:18 pm weighing 7 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches long!! It's already been a week since she was born and it's gone by so fast. She has been so sweet and good. Big sister Wrynly loves her and is such a proud big sister. She loves giving her kisses and rubbing her head.

We got to the hospital around 9 pm Wednesday night because my waters started leaking.  Arya took her sweet time getting here, because she wasn't born until Thursday at 12:18 in the afternoon! This picture is of me when I was still happy and pain free in labor!  Plus, Jarom was so great at keeping the mood light and happy and funny, as you can tell by the Expectations he wrote on the board the minute we were in the room!

 sad faces!

First time big sister got to hold Arya. At this point, she still didn't have a name yet!

Me doing skin-to-skin with Arya, trying to absorb all the billirubin I could. She had to be under the lights for almost 24 hours straight. You can see the light pad on her back helping her break down the chemical so she could pee it out.

Under the lights.

 Passing her hearing test.

Getting her first bath. Not fun!
