Aliyah Mae Pierce arrived at 2:27pm on Jan. 4, 2012. 7 lbs, 15 oz and 19 inches long. We were due to have her on Jan. 1...which left us with lots of anticipation and excitement about whether she was going to be a 2011 or 2012 baby. We really got excited about the idea of her coming right before midnight or even being the first baby of the year. She had other plans however and decided to stay put until the new year was well on it's way. After a few days of waiting, we decided to go ahead with being induced. It turned out to be a PERFECT day!!!! I was very comfortable all day and by the time I was ready to push Aliyah came only 20-30 minutes later with no problem at all. Compared to the difficult labor I experienced with Jalen, this was a "breeze." It's amazing how much love you experience the moment they enter the world. She is SO precious!!!
Ready to be induced
Welcome to the world Aliyah Mae (our nurse made her hospital hat extra special with a little bow on top).
The most amazing nurse - thank God for great nurses!!!!
Jalen and Aliyah's pediatrician came to meet his new patient.
Jalen's first introduction to Baby Aliyah...he was SO excited, but still a little unsure of the whole situation. (Thank you Stephanie Donaldson for the adorable "Big Brother Jalen" personalized shirt - he was so proud to wear it!).
Sweet kisses from big brother.
Our family is complete.
Jalen decided to take a break from Aliyah (he lost interest fairly quick) - but proudly read his new Big Brother book.
Nena's first opportunity to hold baby Aliyah. Thank you Nena for ALL that you did for us this week!!!!!!!
Cousin Steph.
