Welcome Talia Elizabeth Pawli!

Today, at 12:20 pm, Talia entered our world, adding 8 pounds, 7 ounces and 21.75 inches of joy to life as we know it.

She looks a lot like her big brother on day one - with a little more hair, a little less pudge and a little more length. Her temperment so far has been completely opposite from Grayson's - she is very calm, doesn't startle, has slept a lot and screamed very little.

But I digress. I know what you really want to see is photos so here you go:


Amy getting the scar tissue from her previous c-section cut through.


Talia's big debut.


No baby is happy being evicted from the womb.



Post bath adorableness.


And just for good measure, let's make sure Grayson gets some attention, too (he got plenty today, playing hard with Grandpa and the Grandmas). This picture is not from today, but it's still awfully cute.

The Next Big Day ...

Is tomorrow! Mom and Dad will be here between 5:00 and 5:15 and Tony and I will be at the hospital by 5:30. This is in the am. Have I mentioned how nice it is to have the hospital only a few blocks away? Surgery is scheduled for 7:45. Hopefully by 9:00 the next Bauer-Pawli baby will be out in the world! I'm looking forward to meeting her and hoping that Grayson does well while I'm in the hospital. We'll let you know as soon as we can. Until then, enjoy some belly love!
