Sam Graft

After being stuck staring at four walls, it was nice to go to the park and visit with some of the playgroup mommies!

It was great to see Jenny and her new addition Aiden too! Aiden is 2 1/2 weeks older than Hana. What cuties!

Mamo took charge of Hana, and I got to play with my little superstar!

1 Week Old

Today Hana Elisabet is one week old! I can not believe that it has already been one week since we checked into the hospital. Conrad and I knew that Hana would be completely different from Hayli, and she really is. Hana sleeps a lot still (it is that newborn coma that we refer to!). We took this photo this morning. Hana is wearing the outfit that Nurse Mindy gave us. Hana is quickly growing out of her newborn clothes! I can't believe that Hayli used to be this small!!! =0) Conrad went to work today, but thank goodness Mamo is still here to help out!

Hana's First Doctor Visit

Today was Hana's first pediatrician visit. Hana has the same pediatrician as Hayli. Dr. Settles has always done really well with Hayli, and I am sure that she will give the same excellent care to Hana. The main reason for today's visit was to check Hana's weight, especially since Hana is being fed both breast and formula milk.

Hana weighed in at 7 pounds 3 ounces, so we will have to go in again next week Friday. Hopefully, with the supplemental formula feedings Hana will gain weight!

Day 2

Today is Hana's second day of life. She is truly our second little miracle.

Hana had her hearing tested, and she passed. WOOHOO!

Mamo with our newest addition...

This may be my favorite photo. See the mark on Hana's thumb? That is a blister from her sucking her thumb in the womb!!! What a sweetie!

Dada has fallen in love -- for the 3rd time!

Hana's Birth Day

Today is Hana's scheduled birth day. We started the day at 4:30 in the morning. Amazingly, we were all up and ready to go by 5 a.m. Oma came over so she could watch Hayli while we were at the hospital.

One more belly photo before we left for the hospital.

Because it was so early in the morning, we had to check in at the Emergency Room. It was really strange. Although I did all the paperwork on Friday, I had to redo the paperwork since they lost it!!! (Can you believe that?)

Here we are waiting to be buzzed in to the labor and delivery floor.

More paperwork had to be filled out...

Dr. Elma Gutierrez showed up. Dr. Gutierrez and the nurses try to figure out our cord blood kit.

After the spinal block was set, Moeke was allowed in the operating room and Dada was left behind to wait for Hana. Hana Elisabet was delivered at 7:55 in the morning, weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces, her head was 14 inches around, and she was 19 3/4 inches long!

Moeke got to cut the umbilical cord. I was so happy that I insisted on someone doing that. What an honor it was that Moeke agreed to do it.

I was not the first to meet Hana, but it was love at first sight!

Dada met Hana in the nursery.

Dr. Settles was there to deliver Hana... what a super doctor!

Our favorite nurse, Mindy, was there for Hana's delivery too! What a special experience!

Oma came later in the day to visit with Hana.

Jody came by to see Hana too! We are so happy to have such great friends and family!

The Day Before...

We found ourselves at the day before Hana's arrival. Needless-to-say, we are NOT prepared for our second bundle's arrival. I still can't believe that we are adding to our family!

The day started off with a trip to the Emergency Room for a blood draw. I guess the doctors needed it in order to have the blood tested before the surgery tomorrow. The reason why we had to go to the ER is because it is Sunday and the regular hospital is closed.We also had to make sure that the cord blood paperwork was complete and that we had the kit in order.For Hayli, everything is very surreal. She is in complete denial, but she did take the opportunity to tell Hana that she will see her soon (or that is what the mommy in me says that Hayli was doing)!

Pregnancy Photos

Today we took some pregnancy photos. We thought we better take these photos before Hana decided to show up early!
