Two New Babies For Grandma Hyatt

This is a picture of Sunny holding the baby 3 hours after Aspen was born. She looks pretty amazing!

This was our midwife Deanna weighing the baby in what I call the "Stork Sack"

Grandma Hyatt holding Aspen and Alyssa who were born 5 days apart. It wasn't even planned like that!

Here they are. Both 7 lbs 14 oz. We hope that they will become best friends and share birthday parties and go to school together. Maybe they were best friends in heaven and saw this as an opportunity to stay together on Earth.

Guess What The Stork Brought...





Aspen Colette Hyatt was born on Friday May 15th at 9:15AM at our home in Flagstaff, AZ. (Don't worry...it was planned to happen at home) She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 20.5 inches long. We think she may be the future Christine Dai role in Phantom of the Opera as she has quite a set of lungs on her. I think that going over the due date by 9 days will help her singing career in the future. The labor was quite short and from the time Sunny's water broke to the time Sunny was holding Aspen in her arms was ~45 minutes. The midwives almost missed the birth and were getting ready to walk me through how to deliver the baby. I got to catch Aspen when she came out and then lay her on Sunny's chest. Sunny was amazing and in total control the whole time during the final stages of labor, unlike the way the movies depict birth with the women screaming and crying and swearing at their husbands. I have a whole new respect for her as she now is not only a wife but also a mother. To make a long story short, mom and baby are happy, healthy, and beautiful. We will keep you up to date on Aspen as we help to mold her screaming talent into the next opera diva!

The Full 40!!!

Today marks 40 weeks for Sunny! As you can see, the baby has nowhere to go now but straight out. We are amazed at how big a 7-pound baby can look inside the tummy of a 5'0" mommy. We're now ready for this little girl to join our family!

One Week To Go, and Anxious To Know!

We are so excited to see what this little girl is going to look like. Maybe a blend of these two pictures!
