On Monday, March 19, at 8:15a, we welcomed our new daughter, Nona Lucille, into the world. She weighed 7 lbs, 1 oz, and was 18.8 in long. She is healthy, full term, and doing well. Here are some photographs of the occasion.
Mom got to hold her right away, instead of her being whisked away to the NICU.
Daddy had to reassure Nona that it was going to be okay and that Mommy would be back from the O.R. soon.
Nona is super calm and content. She loves to sleep and eat. Her first night, all she wanted to do was rest on mommy's chest. She refused to go into her crib.
"Hi, world!"
A totally different experience compared with the previous pregnancy!
On Tuesday, Hazel and Jude came with Grandma to visit us in the hospital. They're still not so sure about the new arrival. (For one thing, what is it?) Hazel is starting to be more interested in Nona now, though.
Heidi and Nona came home after only two days in the hospital. Noel took the week off of work, so we've been enjoying a week home as a family.
Isn't she beautiful?
Our friend Cara brought Nona a birthday cake. It has one candle because it's impossible to light zero candles.
We've been having nice weather, so Hazel and Jude went outside with Grandma and Daddy a couple days ago. They loved riding the dump truck toy that was left in the backyard by previous residents.
Classic Jude and Hazel expressions...

Everyone is beautiful! Congratulations, all. I love how Jude looks like he's saying, "'Sup?" in that last pic.
How wonderful...all of it.
I can't believe how different Nona looks from picture to picture. Can't wait to see more.
