The Day Hadley Was Born

Hadley was born on Friday, October 10, 2014. 

The photos below tell the story of the day our sweet baby girl entered the world: 

Tal and I think it is pretty special that Dr. Anderson (no relation) 

delivered both Savannah and Hadley:

Dr. Anderson placed Hadley on my chest right after she was born, 

and Tal cut her umbilical cord:

Hadley just minutes after she was born:

Hadley weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz.:

Hadley was born with some strawberry blonde fuzz 

on her head (the same color as Savannah's hair):

Hadley's first bath:

Swaddled for the first time:

Our first picture as a family of four:

It meant a lot to us that Uncle Benny drove three hours 

to be present for Hadley's birth:

Great Grandaddy Anderson drove 1.5 hours to the hospital 

and met Hadley about an hour after she was born:
