More on Hallie!

As Nathan posted earlier Hallie has arrived! She weighs 7 lbs even, and is 20 1/2 inches long. She is doing amazing and checked out wonderfully at the pediatricians office today! We are so happy to have her here with us, she is a doll!

Caleb loves being a big brother! He is so sweet with Hallie kissing and being nice to her.

Her fingers are really wrinkly and it looks like she is wearing finger nail polish

Our new sweet baby girl!

Hallie Mattea Snyder!

Baby #2 is here - naturally, water birthed at home, and beautiful!

Krystal labored for 60 hours after her water broke. 60 HOURS!!!

I didn't think that kind of labor was humanly possible or without damage to mother and baby, but Krystal had a lot of support and both are healthy. She didn't really get any sleep - not more than 15 minutes at a time for three days. Krystal is so strong, and the baby is beautiful!

Without further ado, Hallie Mattea!

P.S. There will sure be further posts coming on this cute little girl :)

Hallie will be born by Saturday!

It is now official!  Krystal's water has broken and she's having contractions, so this baby will be out by Saturday, one way or the other!  Hopefully it's the natural way, not another C-section, but the long wait is over!  Hallie Mattea is almost here!

-Nathan & Caleb

P.S. Krystal is doing well! She's tough even though it has been a while since her water broke, and she's doing well.

When will she be born?

As the ticker to the right says...Hallie is due in just 1 week! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone! I have been having lots of irregular Braxton Hicks today...but none of them hurt so I don't know if they really count. We are waiting patiently, but not so much. Nathan has a fly out interview on Wednesday that he wont get back from until Thursday night, so we are getting anxious for her to make her arrival! Just for fun lets have a little poll. You can leave you guesses in the comments section.

When do you think she will be born?

How much do you think she will weigh?

Thanks for filling my insane necessity to ask people and live off of their hopes of when she will be born because seriously I have NO clue and am getting a little nervous of the upcoming events that could conflict.

The fight

It appears we have a little fighter on our hands... When we were up at Nathan's aunts house the other day Caleb got in a fight with the corner of some molding. The down side of this event is that the molding definitely won! Here are the after marks... which include his hopefully first and only black eye from a fight! He was really tired when this occurred, and was being SUPER clumsy! Fortunately when I picked him up to console him he cried for a few minutes and went to sleep. These were taken 3 days after the event. So it's getting much better now!

Finally Finished with the Bedding!

After many hours of learning how to do this stuff I have finally finished the bedding for Hallie. I think it turned out decent, now hopefully it will hold up for a little while! :) Here are some pics.

The whole set

Please excuse our storage under the crib...

Another view

It's very pink and definitely makes it a little more real that we will be having a little girl around here pretty soon...CRAZINESS! We are so excited though!
