Firsts with Our Second

I can’t count how many times in the last two weeks I have said, “I’m so glad you’re on the outside now.”  After a few false alarm trips to the hospital and five days and nights of contractions (some mild, some not so mild), our sweet baby girl arrived on Monday, August the 26th.  I won’t go into detail of the story of her birth, but it was a day of great joy, hard work, and much to celebrate.

Without further ado, we present our baby girl, Eloise Kealy.

These past two weeks have been filled with many “firsts” for our second child.  Instead of narrating our days of diapers, chasing our toddler, feedings, visiting family, etc. etc., we thought we’d share photos of a handful of Eloise’s firsts.  Enjoy!

A big thanks goes out to the friends and family that have kept us well fed, helped make sure that Quincy felt extra love as he adjusted to his new role as a big brother, and just loved on all four of us H-G’s.  We couldn’t feel more blessed!

Happy Parents of Two,

~M & B
