Sobrinha #3

Eric and I are excited to announce the arrival of our third sobrinha (niece) yesterday!

Hannah Joy was born October 2 and weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces. Eric spoke to Tanya (his sister) around noon yesterday, less than 2 hours after the birth. She sounded peppy and perfectly normal - you'd never have known she had been at the hospital in labor since three in the morning and had a baby just a couple hours earlier. (I keep telling her she is a bad example for Eric - he thinks all pregnant and just-gave-birth women are as pleasant and easy-going as her! hehehe) Mommy and baby are doing great, the proud father of three girls was very excited when we talked to him last night, and big sisters Madison and Kaylee are in love with the new baby.

And Tio Eric and Tia Emily couldn't be happier! We just wish we were there to meet little Miss Hannah! I have sent stern instructions though that she isn't to grow or change a bit until we get there in December . . . we'll see how that all works out.
