Here are Day #2 photos, oh how she's grown! (Just kidding, she's lost 6 oz.) This girl is amazing, I know that's probably how most new parents feel but she really is amazing. She gives the tiniest little monkey cry when she cries and the saddest little pouty face when she wants something, she rarely opens both eyes at the same time, keeps her hands as close to her face as possible (something we saw even before birth in her ultrasounds) and she's getting known amongst the nursing staff as the baby with the frosted highlights in her hair. She already has Wes wrapped around her finger (seriously, he welled up with tears when they asked that he leave her in the nursery for tests) and I'm pretty proud of her too.
We've changed her name already, she's Haley Elizabeth Pierson. We'd had Tana (rhymes with Jana) at the top of our list for a while and pretty much thought that's what she'd be. When she was first born I was holding her, looked at Wes and told him I didn't know if she was a Tana, "I think she looks like a Haley." The funny thing is that we hadn't even talked about Haley, wasn't even on the list, have NO idea where that came from. We mulled it over today and took polls from just about everyone who entered the room (votes somewhat split) but I think we're feeling pretty good about the change (see how I left just a little bit of room for change with the word think).
I'm doing great, epidurals are incredible, that about covers it.
We have a kid.

Oh the joy! Hurray! Finally! We love Haley!
She just gets cuter every day! Good choice on the name, I really like Haley. Charlie really loves to see pictures of his new cousin. Are you home now?
She is so adorable and Haley is a very cute name!! congratulations! now comes all the fun! don't be suprised if she learns how to cry once you've been home a little while ;)
So adorable. Really. I cannot get OVER that hair and how absolutely beautiful she is.
The tiny newborn cry is the best...oh I can't wait to meet her!
Side note, just so Wes knows if he doesn't want to lose sight of that cutie...you never have to leave the baby if you don't want to. Although sometimes they make a stink about it (they did with us anyway). But one thing Matt learned with Ida was that if there's a long line of babies in the nursery that need to be tested or seen by the pediatrician, the ones whose parents are with them get seen first!
(Not that I'm anti leaving the baby, mind you...in the middle of the night when you just have to get some sleep, that's what the nurses are there for! Well one reason.)
Dear Ann and Wes -
Please hurry to Texas! I wanna snuggle that baby, whatever her name is! :)
