Life with Paige







I know it has been a long time since I last posted but I am quickly realizing that life as a new mom does not include the luxury of free time. This is the same reason I have been remiss in returning phone calls, emails and Facebook messages to all of our wonderful friends and family. You know who you are and I'm so sorry!

While life as new parents has been an adjustment, we still can't believe how lucky we are to have a healthy baby girl. Sure, the lack of sleep and 'round the clock feeding schedule have been a test of our patience and sanity, but it really is worth it. Paige has already changed so much since we brought her home. She's becoming more alert and awake and exercising her lungs often.

We had several visitors over the past couple weeks. Grandma, Nana, Aunt Lisa, and Cousin Lucy all came to help with Paige, cooking, cleaning, and just general moral support. Thank you to you all!

Well, Paige is calling for her dinner so I'll have to cut this short but I did update photos on our Shutterfly page. Here's the link...

Welcome Paige Elise!

We are so happy to announce the arrival of our tiny piglet, Paige Elise Ham. She entered the world on October 3, 2008 at 6:15pm. She weighed 5lbs 5oz and is 18 1/2 in long. She has a full head of hair and everyone has said that she looks like her daddy. She's doing well and while we're already adjusting to less sleep, we're enjoying every minute of it!

Pictures are on our photo site, http://hamfamilyphoto.shutterfly.com/.

Lucky 301

After four very long days in triage room #3, I have finally been moved back to my old hang-out, room 301. I feel like I've made it in the world! It's a cloudy day here but I'm enjoying the fact that I even know this without watching the weather. Oh, the small things in life!



I'm still killing time until Friday, which is officially the big day. They may start things as early as Thursday night, depending on my progress so far. Either way, our little piglet will be making her appearance in just a few days and we can't wait to meet her and share her with the world!
