Wow, thank you for all of the wonderful comments about our new baby! I do read all of them and really appreciate all of the sweet words. I haven’t had much computer time {for obvious reasons!} but wanted to post a few pictures of Haylie from a quickie photoshoot I did of her at one week old.
I came home from the hospital Friday morning and we have been adjusting pretty well to having a newborn in our home! I missed Brandon and Annie while I was at the hospital so it was good to be home. They ADORE Haylie. It’s hard to believe that she’s already one week old. I unfortunately got a horrible case of the stomach flu on Sunday night (I don’t think I’ve EVER been so sick in my life) and that set me back a little bit but every day seems to be better I think. Haylie has been an angel baby so far, is serene and snuggly and a great eater and the last 2 nights I have gotten 6-7 hours of sleep (broken up by just one feeding!!) so that has helped. 
Probably a fluke!! Don’t get me wrong, life DEFINITELY isn’t perfect and it has been a hard week but a beautiful one at the same time. Really, it’s worth it.
We are so lucky to have such amazing parents and family who have made the transition much easier. And Jaden has been incredible…..I know, I’m gushing…..I just know I couldn’t have done anything without them. Thank you and I love you.
Thanks again! Time to go feed Haylie!

Congrats on your BEAUTIFUL little girl. I sure wish we lived closer so that we could let Oaklyn hang out with her “boyfriend” more often! (That’s what she calls him when she sees pictures of him!)
Thanks for having this cute little baby that I can adore and snuggle and hold and then go home and sleep.
Congratulations! She’s such a cutie! And when you get a chance (which may be weeks from now), could you check the email for your 97 reunion? I’m in charge of the 98 reunion and wanted to ask a few questions. You can forward it to any of the other planners…I just knew your blog site to comment on. Good luck with Haylie!
I want to see ALL the pictures! She is so cute. I love the one on the piano bench. You are so creative! Let me know if you need anything.
Brooke she looks to be just about perfect…like everything else you make! Hopefully you got the little care pack I sent. Hang in there & just love her up!
Brookie…I love these pictures of her. That one by the piano is so so darling. I still can’t get over that horrendous night you had…nothing worse. Halle is dying to meet little Haylie so I’ll call you and see what your up for. Love you lots!
I love the pictures. I’m sorry that you got the flu. How miserable! I’m glad you’re doing better. I love to read all the little details about your newborn. It brings back memories from when mine were tiny.
So sweet and precious. I love how their little arms and legs stay curled up. Don’t you wish they could stay this little forever AND get a good nights rest?
Brooke–I ran across your blog a little while ago and love it. You always do the cutest things. I love your latest pics of your baby. They are darling! I am glad that she is such a good baby for you.
