The update you've all been waiting for...

First Family Picture

Warming up to Zoë

My Mom with her favorite Idahoan grand kids ;)

First day in the NICU and the first time I got to really see her


One of our visits, poor girl has an IV in her head

Bennett unsure what to make of his sister


Zoë Caitlin Hayes was born Nov 5th, at 8am weighing 9lbs 4oz and 19 inches long. She weighed more than Bennett, so it looks like getting a C-Section turned out to be a great idea after all! She was in the NICU for abt 5 days because she struggled regulating her blood sugar. It was hard coming home without her, but turned out to be a bit of a blessing. I was able to rest better in the hospital, and Bennett had time getting used to me being home again before we introduced the baby. Despite his first picture with her, Bennett does like his new sister. He likes to hand her the pacifier or burp cloth, even if she doesn't need them. It's very sweet.
