Introducing Sydney Paige Ewell

It has taken me forever to get these pictures on my blog, but I'm finally getting around to it. Here is is our little darling Sydney Paige Ewell.
Sydney was born Monday, Februay 9, 2009 at 9:13 am. She weighed 8 lb 3 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long.

This is me the morning we went to the hospital. I am HUGE!! I can't believe I'm actually daring to put this picture on here, but I guess it's my motivation to get a GREAT after picture. Everyone asked me if I was sure I wasn't having twins - yes I was sure. And my tutoring student was very kind to point out that my butt has gotten really big too. That's always great to hear.


She was born by c-section (That's why I have on the oxygen and blue hat.) She had to be c-section because of previous c-sections. So far I'm recovering pretty good - thank goodness for pain killers.
Here is Sydney with Grandma Ewell. Grandma and Grandpa Ewell came Monday afternoon to meet their new little grandbaby. Thanks for coming to visit.

Grandma and Grandpa Roylance brought Hayden and Rebecca over Monday night to meet their new little sister. They were so excited. My mom had been practicing Sydney's name with them all day. Hayden had it mastered by the time they came. They were so sweet and soft with her.

Here is our cute little family of 5 now!

Sydney and Mommy.



My mom and dad came and stayed with us to help out. It was wonderful having them here. Thanks again mom & dad for your help!


Rebecca has been WONDERFUL with Sydney. She is in mommy mode, always eager to help whenever she hears Sydney cry, and she's been so soft with her.

Hayden has also been such a good helper. He loves to hold her, and give her a blanket, binky, whatever he tinks she might need.

We feel so blessed to have Sydney as a part of our family. We have looked forward to her arrival, and love having her calm, peaceful spirit in our family!
