Welcome, precious!

Havilah Joy Honeycutt has arrived! Here's the story, in pictures:

Shawna arrived Saturday morning.

Sunday night we got ready to go to the hospital at some point during the night.

Monday morning, 6 a.m.--it was finally our turn to come in!


Shawna arrived later in the morning to keep me company during the five hours of labor.


Welcome, baby girl! At 1:01 p.m., Hava entered the world with no complications...and after only 4-5 minutes of pushing.


John was beside himself with joy when he realized mom was holding the long-anticipated BABY SISTER!

Havilah prepares for her bath.

Visitors! Megan was the first non-parent, non-medical staff to hold our sweet girl. She came with Jim and Shane. We also saw Elise, Damon, Chloe, Haylie, Sophie, Scott, Robyn, Samantha, Ryan, and Jadon.

Happy family!


Proud papa...

And that was Havilah's first day of life! We're SO glad she's here to stay. (-:

4-5 minutes? I'm so jealous, I pushed for 2.5 hours! Tell me it's easier next time around!

Thanks for posting all the photos. What an amazing little person! I love the one of John being overjoyed with her :) It has always been great having our kids as close in age as they are (other than not having a large enough lap or enough hands...).
with love,
Adrienne
