Introducing Baby Sydney




So she is finally here and we couldn't be more thrilled! She is just a little thing and so precious. I went to the hospital on Monday May 5th (yep, she's a cinco de mayo baby :) for an amnio to make sure that her lungs were developed. The tests came back that she was all ready and they took me back for my c-section at about 5:00. Everthing went really well. She weighted in at a tiny 6lbs 1 ounce and measured 19 inches. At first we thought that she had light hair but as the days have passed it looks like she might have daddy's dark hair. She really has her own look and weren't not sure who she looks like yet. All I know is that she is so darn cute :) She already has daddy wrapped around her little finger. Tommy is whooopppped!! It is so sweet to see him with her, it melts my heart! Shaun loves being a big brother again. The first day that we brought her home, Shaun asked if he could give her a nickname. We asked what nickname he liked and he said "I want to call her princess". Bryce is really excited too! He loves to give her kisses and he loves to hold her but only for about 20 seconds...his attention span doesn't last much longer than that. We feel so blessed to have this new addition to our family.

Yay! You got your little girl! How is it going? I never really noticed too many differences between boys and girls until recently. She is so cute Jaime! I'm so excited for you and your family:)

Congratulations Jamie. You will have so much fun with a little girl. I sure have enjoyed my one girl. They really are so different from the boys. Sydney is absolutely darling. I am excited for you.
