Hadley Sue Linderman

The past 12 days have seemed like 1 long amazing day and finally I have a moment while Hadley sleeps next to me to update our blog and get some pics of our little cutie pie up here! Hadley Sue Linderman was born on Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 1:30am after laboring for 21.5 hours. Amazingly, I went into labor on my actual due date of 6/17, but she decided she would rather wait to have her birthday on the 18th. :) I pushed for over 3 hours and the doc had to eventually use the vacuum to help her get out, but she came out healthy and crying, which of course made us cry tears of joy along with her! We were feeling like she was never coming out!!!

We all are doing just great, very tired, but great...I am sore and healing, but doing good overall, and we all are adjusting to life as a family of 3. Our days consist of nursing, sleeping (well, Hadley at least), changing diapers, changing clothes and then we do it all again...Chris and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing, beautiful, healthy daughter and are loving every minute. Chris is such an amazing dad...he is so hands on and just amazes me every day of how much he loves Hadley and I. As most of you can probably imagine, we have taken about 500 pics in Hadley's first 12 days of life, so here are a few of our favorites. I will try my best to update more regularly now! Bear with us...
