Hannah 3 Weeks Old

Precious baby girl

Our little Hannah Elizabeth was born on June 2, at 11:17 am.  She weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces and was 19 inches long.  She had a head full of dark hair and dark blue eyes.  Will and I, along with her brothers Weston, Connor, and James, all welcomed her with open arms.  Connor was the most excited about having a baby sister.  He wanted to be the first to hold her.  He just kept saying, "She is so cute!"  When Weston first held her, he said, "Welcome to the world, pretty girl."  James couldn't stop giving her kisses and softly patting her head while saying, "Baby, baby."  Everyone is happy to have little Hannah around.  She is just like a little baby doll.  The name Hannah means "He (God) has favored me."  In the Bible, Hannah prayed for a son and God blessed her with Samuel.  So, the name literally means "God has graced me with a son."  How fitting to name our fourth child and first daughter Hannah, because God has graced us with a daughter.  She is a blessing we couldn't have even imagined.  Will says that "our family feels complete" now that she is here with us.  Oh, little Hannah girl, you are loved so much!  I thank God for you, as well as for each of your brothers that will be watching over you as you grow up.

The Five of Us

Will, Connor (4), James (1), Me (8 months pregnant with Hannah), and Weston (6)

 

 

 

 

On Mother's Day, we snapped a few pictures of us as a family of five, since we will soon be a family of six.  I am so thankful for my boys and the joy they bring us each day.  I can't imagine who I would be without them, because they have taught me how to be my best self.  My cup overflows with love for them and their daddy.  I'm just so blessed to have the opportunity to be Will's wife and their mother.  God has been so good to me.

Some sweet friends of mine hosted a baby shower to help celebrate the upcoming arrival of baby Hannah.  I have been overwhelmed by the amount of love and excitement from friends as we await Hannah's arrival.  Hannah received lots of dresses, swaddling blankets, booties, bibs, diapers, and hair bows.  I feel so incredibly blessed to have such wonderful friends. With a house full of precious boys, we never thought we'd see any pink in the Parrott house, but it has been a fun new adventure!  The dresses and all the accessories that come with a baby girl have given me a bit of a shopping addiction.  Hannah's little closet is filling up quickly because shopping for her has been so much fun.  We can't wait to meet our baby girl soon!
