...in the Mehringer family crown has arrived! World meet Hayden Brielle Mehringer!
She weighed 7lbs 3oz and is 21 inches long. She has long, slender fingers, lots of dark hair and already has many expressions. Monika and Hayden are doing really well...especially now that their LONG 5 day hospital stay is over and they are home. Hayden decided to come exactly one week early on Matt and I's 5th Anniversary, December 29th! Moni told me no one worked as hard on our anniversary gift as she did. I couldn't agree more. :) Hayden is our first niece on both sides of the family (she's the first to make us Aunt and Uncle) and also the first cousin for our girls. We feel so blessed to live close by, see her grow up and hopefully have many babysitting opportunities.
Since we were still in Hawaii when she arrived, we had to delay meeting her until today. Here are a few pictures of our first glimpses.
Back when Monika and Tad surprised us with the news that they were expecting, Moni had made shirts for both our girls to wear with the word "cousin" on it! What fun to get those out today for our first visit.
Sweet baby Hayden we are so thankful to have you join our family! We pray for you daily right along with our girls that you would come to know Jesus Christ as your Savior and love Him all the days of your life. Uncle Matt, Aunt Ashley, Reese and Allie love you so much already! Welcome to the world little girl!
What a sweet time, Aunt and Uncle!
