Jake's First Photo Shoot

Carmen Doherty Photography made a stop at our home on Sunday to document the arrival of God's newest miracle! Jake was a true sport and performed well for his first official photo shoot! Caitlin made sure to ham it up as well. More photos to come, however, here are a few amazing shots to get us started! Thank you, Carmen...you are the best! Love you!

Welcome to the world, Jacob Roger Haney!

At 1:09pm on Thursday, April 15, 2010, Jacob Roger Haney entered our lives at 7lbs, 11oz, and 19 inches long. It was such an emotional entry as they yelled through the OR, 'It's a BOY!' Our hearts instantly filled with delight and our eyes filled with tears! It was such an amazing feeling to hear those words and learn who had been inside me for the last 9 months. Welcome, our already loved, Jake...we have been waiting for you! Our hearts grew even bigger than we ever imagined, the day you were born. You have entered this world with a loving Mommy, Daddy and big sister, Caitlin and canine sister, Savannah. There are 2 sets of Grandparents waiting to hug and kiss you, 2 aunts, an uncle and several other family members longing to meet, hold and hug you! We are thankful that God brought you to us, and we will love you forever!

Last Belly Shot Comparison

Belly Shot with #2 at 39 Weeks


Belly Shot with Caitlin at 41 Weeks

In 24+ hours...

Tomorrow at this time, I probably won't be able to sleep...as I will be anxious/nervous to bring our new little family member into this world. We will be going to the hospital at 10am and welcoming our new one at 12pm. I have included one last belly shot, again with a comparison from my pregnancy with Caitlin.

Wish us luck...we will post information/news/pictures as soon as #2 arrives!

Love to all...
Roger, Erin, Caitlin & #2

Easter

This weekend started off with excitement. On Friday, we were SURE that we would be having Baby Haney #2, as I was starting to feel consistent contractions...but after going to the doctor and then to the hospital to be monitored for contractions, we were sent home to wait...no baby. I was feeling pretty crummy this weekend...still getting contractions, nothing consistent, however. But, as I sit here Monday morning, nothing to note, except, baby is still in the belly. :) It was nice to have a great Easter weekend with Roger, Caitlin and I though. We will always cherish this time with just her, until her new baby brother or sister arrives next week. We are still on schedule to deliver this baby via c-section on April 15, 2010. It was moved from April 5 to now, April 15. We shall see. :)

We did have a nice Easter Sunday with mass with Mom & Dad Sivula and then dinner at their house. I have included some photos of Caitlin's basket from the Easter Bunny and then some of her in her Easter dress.

Easter Bunny 2010

We took Caitlin to meet the Easter Bunny on Friday night. She was okay touching his nose and hand, but the moment I tried to leave her on his lap, she was strongly protesting. So, before the water works really started, Roger and I jumped in the photo and sat with the bunny. It turned out to be a great family photo! Maybe next year, she will be excited to sit with the big furry bunny!
