The Stork Finally Arrived!

Well, after 27 hours of labor, Ashlyn arrived on Wednesday, November 26, at 10:59 PM. Although it was the longest 27 hours of my life, it was so worth it! She is a tiny little thing - she weighed 6 pounds and was 18.5 inches long, but she is healthy and beautiful. We were able to come home on Friday and are so happy to be home with our little girl. Things are a little crazy as we adjust to being parents of a newborn, but we are loving every minute (well most minutes :) ). Aaron and I are amazed we created such a beautiful girl and we couldn't be more thankful and proud.

Here is me and Ashlyn just after she was born. Aaron and I couldn't stop crying!

Here is Ashlyn and me getting ready to come home. The outfit I brought to bring her home in was way to big, but thankfully I packed a little premie outfit just in case. I'm glad I did.

Sleeping peacefully.


Proud Papa.



Little Ashlyn.

Ashlyn Leigh Hufana

Well my due date (November 19) has come and gone, and our little girl is still not here. Although I loved being pregnant, I am ready to finally have her in my arms (oh, and being able to put my socks and shoes on without any help from Aaron will be nice too!). The good news is that there is a light at the end of this 9 month tunnel - I'm scheduled to be induced on Wednesday if she doesn't come on her own before then. We are supposed to head to the hospital Tuesday night (if they have room for us) and they will start the induction on Wednesday morning. Even though we will be in the hospital for Thanksgiving, I'm just so excited to finally be able to see her face and hold her in my arms! For now, all I have to share are pictures of her nursery, but I will post pictures of our little girl as soon as we bring her home.
