I would love for you to meet our newest baby doll, Hadley! Our little muffin is the most precious way to round out our family of six in a way I have dreamed of since I was a little girl myself.
Her middle name, Rosemary, is one that I have had tucked in my back pocket ever since we were pregnant with our two older boys. My grandmas were Rose Marie and Mary, so it is very special for me to name our Hadley after both of them. Both women were some of the strongest I have ever had in my life. They were farm wives & mothers of four and five children. I think about them a lot and wonder what life was like for them years ago as they raised their families through life’s ups and downs.
My Grandma Rose Marie passed away earlier this year, so I’m thankful to have had her in my life into my adult years, and while I only got nine sweet years on this earth with my Grandma Mary, she made a very big impact on me in those short years.
In the past few weeks, our hearts have melted all over this little girl. She gives me the best smiles and coos when we’re up for her 4am diaper change and bottle. Big sister Shelby is over the moon to have a little sister, and I’ve already found Hadley with dress up clothes laid on top of her. Her dark brown eyes make her look soo much like bigger brother Dawson, and all he wants to do is carry her everywhere. Big brother Rhett wants to ‘nuggle any chance he gets. And, since it is crazy harvest season, Daddy squeezes in snuggles in the early morning and late at night whenever he can. I even overheard him whisper to her not to grow so she would still be tiny when harvest was over.
We love you forever now, sweet girl!
