I'm One Month Old Today!


Taelyn hit the 4 week mark today. It is so hard to believe she has been in our lives a month already. She is changing everyday - it is truly amazing. If you haven't been by to meet her, we hope you will stop by.

Taelyn has Arrived!


On Monday, January 19 at 7:45am, Taelyn Paige made her entrance into the world. She weighed 7 pounds and measured 20 inches long. We are doing well and amazingly getting at least some sleep! We had several visitors at the hospital and more have come to meet Taelyn at home. Chad's mom spent the first night at home with us and the Normans arrived early the next day for the second shift. It has been so nice having the help and we will be sad to have them leave next week. Thanks to everyone who has come by, brought food and sent flowers - Taelyn has very much enjoyed all the attention to say the least!

Finally, Baby Martin has a name!

So, after much deliberation and scrutinization, Chad and I have finally decided on a name for our baby girl. Drum roll please... Taelyn Paige Martin. It is similar to a name I found in a baby book, but not exactly. I looked up Taelyn and found that it means "inner path". Also found that the actress "Lexie", from Grey's Anotomy, has a daughter in real life with the same name - interesting. Anyway, hope you all like it - we certainly do!
