Birth of a blog...and a BABY!

Well, we would like to announce the birth of our blog... along with the birth of our baby!!! A lot of firsts for us this year! Well, I finally got down to the nitty gritty and decided to creat our family blog because I am horrible with updating people with pics and the happenings going on in our lives- so we decided to join the blogging world to better update people and keep in touch. We had a bit of exciting news this last month... the birth of our first child! Our little girl, Hailyn Brenlee Tidwell entered the world on Thursday Oct. 9, 2008 at 2:59am weighing in at 8lbs 4oz. and measuring 20 and 1/2 inches long. Here are the three of us right after the birth (ignore what I look like- I was at the hospital in labor for 32 hours with 3 hours of pushing- I was a little out of it:)



Isn't that sweet? Doesn't Hailyn look oh so happy to get a kiss from her daddy?



Here she is all ready to go home from the hospital... finally!




My sweet daughter on her second day home... tell us what you really think sweetheart!


Her first bath


I have loads more pics (yes, I have turned into that sort of mom!) I will definately post more later- and add other cool stuff- a HUGE thank you to Amber for all your help getting this going! You rock!

Yeah! I am glad you have a blog and even more excited about the new addition!Melanie called me the day she was born, but I had the kiddies so I couldn't come and visit in the hospital. My mom came down last weekend for my birthday, and I told her the news,and she was so mad she didn't know because she could have brought clothes down that she bought. She says they are bigger sizes, so she will catch you next time she is down. I can't wait to meet her!! Love, The Bindrups. Our blog is bindrupfamily.blogspot.com Check us out, too!
