Babies make Friday the Thirteenth even better!!

For those that don't know, my sister Nancy has been expecting a little girl - after 4 years of unfulfilled efforts to grow their family. Yesterday, she finally arrived!!! So here are the stats:

Eva (pronounced Ava) Marie Hale
born March 13, 2009 at 8:06 pm
weight: 8 lbs., 0 oz.
length: 19 1/2 inches


Look at those chubby cheeks!
And her skin feels like velvet. So kissable!!!


LOTS of soft hair!


And cute little feeties!
The pinkie toe curls under... apparently just like Daddy's.


Mommy and Daddy Hale
Recovering from the C-Section... and so happy!!!


The sign over Eva's crib in the nursery.


An Eva-burrito. Nummy!


*Unwrapped*
Check out this cute little nugget!
No worries... The IV is just for glucose since her sugars were low.
All better now!

Welcome to the family, Eva!!!
