Dana Deland Livesay

We welcomed Dana to the world on Monday, September 26th - just 2 days before her due date! She weighed 8lbs 3oz and measured 20 inches long. Dana picked a great time to arrive and decided to come quickly! We left for the hospital around 3:30pm, by 5:45pm we were admitted and Dana was in my arms by 9pm! While it was quick - I won't say it was easy!





Alice has been a GREAT big sister to little Dana. Without any prompting when she first saw Dana, she leaned over and gave her a very gentle kiss on the forehead! While she kept referring to her as Emma or Janet (and only sometimes Dana) she seems to understand that this will be a special person in her life. She was very excited to see Dana when we brought her home and didn't want to leave her side. I will admit that she got a little more annoyed later that night when she wanted Mommy to read books to her at the same time Mommy was feeding Dana. We'll see just how her tolerance is tested as she has to share more and more with little Dana.



Kisses!


Dana had a good first night at home. She is a decent sleeper but not a huge fan of her crib right now. That seems to be where she cries the most but we are trying to break her in slowly. She is pretty terrific. We are so happy she's here!
