Haley Kate Israel was born on April 5, 2012 at 6:30 am. She weighted 7#8oz and was 21 inches long. She is beautiful and amazing and we are so thrilled that she's here.
She just barely avoided making a very dramatic entrance into this world. The labor and delivery went great except for a few "decels" (dips in the baby's heart rate that can sometimes be a sign of not enough oxygen being delivered to the baby). After Haley was born, we found out that she had a triple nuchal cord wrapped around her neck and that the placenta had been partially abrupted (torn off the uterine wall partially). Luckily she was born screaming and has done great, but we feel very lucky that things didn't go differently.
Lucas has been the best big brother! He loves "his baby" and loves on her non-stop. He's a big help to mommy and has so far done really well with sharing his parents.
