Hannah Bobbie Hoopes


We had sweet little Hannah Bobbie Hoopes last Tuesday. She's perfect, sweet, and healthy! Just what we've been praying for. The delivery was smooth and easy. No hiccups or worries.

My sister and mom came to watch the special event.
Me, all fluided up ready for the baby girl to come into this world.
Daddy giving me a good luck kiss right before we started deliver.
The Dr. showed up just in time.

The Dr. showed up just in time. I was slow progressing throughout the day, but I went from a 5 to delivering in no time. I kept telling the nurse to be ready because when I go, I go. Dr. Judd came, I gave a half push and out she came. That is my favorite moment in life, the first screams of a newborn. It is crazy that she was in me for 9 months, but that moment of first seeing her is a whole flood of new emotions.
7 lbs. 4 oz. My second smallest baby. Faith was 6 lbs. 10 oz. She was 21 inches. So she's a long little one.


Getting to hold her on my chest. She smelled so good, and words can't describe how good it was to finally hold her in my arms. Daddy checking her out too.




Getting cleaned up and checked out.

Holding her Nana's hand. She has such feminine, beautiful hands--just like her Nana. Long and slender.
Such a happy daddy too.

Her big brother holding her for the first time and Faith brought her a pink bow so she wouldn't have to go without very long.
All the kiddos checking her out. They all love and adore her. Surprisingly Jesse the most. He can't get enough of her. Wyatt has been great too. It's like he knew he was destined to be a big brother. He's been so helpful, content, and easy. I hope it lasts.

My "Push Present." After Faith Ben got me a gold band with two tiny diamonds in it. And now there is four. Crazy.

Such a magical day and we are so thankful for all that we have been blessed with.

Oh Chels, she is beautiful! I'm so glad you took so many pictures of such a special day. Is this the first time you had family there? How was it? I'm looking forward to having my mom with us at our next birth. She is a doll and I can't wait to snuggle her. I'm coming into town on Monday August 16th through the 23rd. Congrats on the final adorable addition to your family.
