Hazel has an email!

Hazel is all set up with an email! Feel free to email her tidbits, pictures, descriptions of what you and your family are up to, etc. Just like with Grey, this email will serve as her "baby book", so email it as often as you like! 

Hazel's email:

Hazelchristensencooper@...

Grey's email (in case you forgot):

Greysoncc@...

Hazel's is at Google and Grey's is at yahoo. 

First doctor's appointment

And Hazel's (and my!) first time out of the house since coming home from the hospital.

Heavy girl! Gained one pound in 5 days. 

We don't need a doctor to check out Hazel's progress. 

Tough afternoon

Welcome baby Hazel

I will write a detailed birth story later, but baby Hazel graced us with her presence at 2:05 this morning. She came fast and furious into the world with an all- natural birth. She is nursing great and is a good pooper :). Big brother and mom and dad are in love. More pics coming later... 

Getting close...

Grey is being very clingy towards me lately. He knows we are getting close. 

Sophie know, too. 

Sewing projects

Diaper clutch, onsie, bib, and burp cloth

Getting ready for baby girl CC

At my doctor's appointment yesterday, I was 4cm dilated, 60% effaced, and baby is in position! Woohoo!

Here's what we have prepared for our baby girl.

Well-child check up

He really liked the doctor saying that he was tall and had long legs. Every night when we tuck him in, we have to say what long legs he has and that his night night blanket from when he was a baby doesn't reach his toes anymore.

Fair time

The Alpena County Fair is GG's favorite time of the year!

Day #1- G loved the turkeys. Justin said, "those look like yummy turkeys!" And G said, "no, daddy, people don't eat turkeys!" :) 

Day 1- the ducks were also a favorite. They were pretty crazy. 

Tractors!

Day 2- had to show Mimi the bunnies

Sometimes I feel like this mama chicken with the babies all around her

Riding rides!

"Want to ride with me, ladies?" ;)
