She’s here! I surprisingly went into labor and ended up having my c-section 2 days early, on April Fool’s Day. 
Not quite as planned but everything worked out just fine!
The excited big brother and big sister….
We’re so happy Haylie is here!! Finally just getting around to loading my pictures and figuring out the internet here at the hospital…..I need to go to sleep so I’ll post more details later. But everything went well and we’re doing great!!!!!! I’ll be here in the hospital until Friday or Saturday morning….
