Welcome Adelyn





We are so grateful for Adelyn's arrival. She is such a sweet baby. Caleb absolutely adores his new little sister and constantly wants to hold her.

She's here!!!









Adelyn Marie Hurt arrived early Thursday, October 9th at 5:23 am.

She came very fast! I started feeling contractions at 3:30 am but they were only 10 min apart. My water broke at 4:30 am when we were still at home. By the time we got to the hospital room it was just about 5:15. The contractions were incredibly painful and I wanted an epidural very badly, but when the nurse checked me, I was ready to deliver. She told me not to push and I had to wait for the doctor. It seemed like forever to wait for him, but once he was there, he told me to push and she came right out.

She weighed 9 lbs 4 oz, was 21 in. long and her head was 14 in. around. Talk about a big baby! Did I mention that I didn't get the epidural?

Unfortunately with her being so big and coming so quickly, she broke her left clavicle (collar bone). We have to keep her arm braced to her body, but they say it will heal with no problems.

She sure is an adorable baby!
