Hayden Anna Seiple has arrived!!!!!!

Baby Hayden was born on January 29th, 2009 at 11:26am. She weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 19 inches long. We went in on Wed. night to be induced. Kevin and I are absolutely ecstatic. Hayden is very healthy and beautiful and we feel like the luckiest people on the planet! We can't wait for everyone to meet her. She already has had a ton of visitors! Baby Hayden only a few minutes old in the delivery room!

Jill holding baby, who resembles a 70 year old man right now.

That's a pretty big mouth, must take after Jill!

Hayden kinda looks like Yoda or E.T. after soaking in a tub of water for 9 months.

Proud dad and her daughter!

Mom and daughter moment!

Here she is weighing in at 7lb 5oz. She doesn't seem to be having a good time...

My mom fought the Ohio snow storms, a canceled flight, and 9 hours of driving to and from Columbus within a 14 hour period to be at the hospital about 1/2 hour after Hayden was delivered. She was a trooper and a giant help those first few nights. Here she is getting to hold Hayden for the first time!

Here is Mandy holding Hayden. Lauren also game to visit and you should have seen the two of them changing Hayden's diaper. It was hysterical!

Here we are in the recovery room as a family! Doesn't she look so little?

Sally and Loli came to visit also. So did Kim as well as Lynn, Cassie, and Kyle. Hayden had quite a few visitors on Thursday. She already is soo popular!

Here she is. Look at all that hair she has!

Close up of our little cutie's face. She does like to make a pouting face.

Grandma and Hayden before we checked out of the hospital on Friday evening. Hayden loves to be swaddled. She looks like a little burrito!

Here is another closeup of our beauty!

This is us leaving the hospital and putting her in the car seat.

We got her in the car seat and she went right to sleep.

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Guido has been very good with Hayden. He isn't allowed to lick her and he actually ignores her pretty much. Here he is lying on my legs and sitting close to Hayden who is out like a light.

The pictures will keep coming! We are snapping away daily and we'll continue to update our blog at least once a week! Thanks for checking it!

Jill and Kevin
