Alyssa finally decided it was time to join us. We welcomed her on Monday October 22 at 3:13 p.m. At 39 weeks she weighed in at a healthy 9# 6oz. Can you imagine how much she would have weighed had she waited one more week! She is 20 and 7/8 inches long. We were grateful to have Nana Babbel at the hospital for her birth. She was able to break away from work for a couple hours to be there. After work she drove over to Utah to be with Tia when Champ was born. What timing!
Tyler and Benjamin both out weighed Alyssa for birth weight, but Alyssa weighed more than a full pound more than Ryan. We definately grow them big in this family.
Tyler came right on up to the hospital after school. He was so excited he could hardly wait to see his new little sister. He stood by her the whole time the nurse was taking the measurements and while Alyssa had her first bath. Tyler was so intrigued by everything. Not much distracted him from the scene involving his little sister. He could not wait until the nurse was done and he could sit and hold her for a while.
Alyssa has her own look. We are not really sure who she looks more like. She is the first to have dark hair at birth. The boys all had red hair when they were born. We are so grateful to have her in our lives! It is nice having another girl in the family now. We are so grateful to Heavenly Father for the wonderful addition to our family and that everything went well and we have a happy healthy baby girl.
