New Edition to the House of Hanna's

We want to introduce you all to our new little buddy, Pierce Hartman Hanna.

Paige woke up this morning at 6:00am to see if she could be induced today rather than Wednesday as planned, but they denied her request. She decided to take matters into her own hands and started having heavy contractions about 15 minutes later!

She woke me up and we rushed down the 76 toward the hospital at 8:00am (somehow there wasn't any traffic). Nurses and Doctors were ready for us as Paige had called ahead and 2 hours, 55 minutes, and many more painful contractions later, Pierce was born!

Grandma Jeri Allbee stayed back at home with Drake to make sure he had his crunch berries and jue (juice).

All is well as Pierce is being fed at this moment and mom is healthy and happy with her new little guy.

Here is a little background on the name. Pierce was a suggestion from Grandma Mary and she deserves the credit. I made the mistake of telling her we liked it about 1 month ago and she ended up sending me about 5 emails of other names that she liked.

Hartman Hunsaker was the first of the Hunsakers (Paige's ancestors) to come to America. He left Switzerland in the 1600's and landed in Philadelphia, where he traveled inland a little eastward and settled in a town 15 minutes from where we are living. We are hoping to find a grave site or some town history on him. We thought it'd be a great way to remember our experience out here and show our gratitude for Paige's 7th great grandfather, for whom Pierce wouldn't be around if it weren't for him!


Our new little baby!

Drake was really cute and seemed happy to see his new brother.
