and the journey begins

Well, Hatley Jane Parish came into this world Tuesday April 27th @ 4:46 pm. She weighed 9 lbs 7 oz and was 21 inches long. (big girl) She has surely had a rough start to this world. First, she swallowed a lot of fluid on the way out and had respiratory distress all of Tuesday evening. Woke up early Wednesday just not happy. Come to find out when the pediatrician came and checked her out that she has a fractured clavicle. It shouldn't take too much time to heal but we can definitely tell that she is in pain. We finally got her to start nursing pretty well so that has been a relief.

We will try to keep this blog updated as much as possible with the newest addition to our family. She is totally beyond amazing. I never knew I could love someone so quickly so much. She has quickly become EVERYTHING that Patrick and I think about. She already has Patrick wrapped around her tiny finger and it is so awesome to watch the love that he has for her. She is definitely he world and will be for the rest of his life and that is A-okay with me. I love watching the way he holds her and looks at her. There is so much love for her.

Please say your prayers for her little shoulder. It is causing her pain and discomfort and we hope that this injury does not last for long.
