We are thrilled to announce the newest member of the Hatcher Family: Kloey Regan Hatcher!! Kloey was born at 3:46 PM on May 31st. She weighed in at 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long (although at her doctor’s appointment today she measured 21 inches, which means they under measured her in the hospital). I had an easy labor with Kloey and she came into this world immediately announcing her arrival with a nice solid shriek. I was surprised how emotional I was with her birth, but when they placed her in my arms for the first time I became a sniveling baby! I now have my second princess and I could not be more thrilled! So far Miss Kloey is an excellent eater and a pretty good sleeper too. When she cries it only means she’s hungry or she’s having a diaper change. She does not like to be cold, but since plugging in the wipey warmer, she no longer hates diaper changes! Kloey is such a good baby and Scotty and I are so happy that she has come to join our family!!

While we were in the hospital having Kloey, Kayden stayed at home with Nam. It sounds like they had SO much fun together. From playing at the beach, going on walks, watering the flowers, playing in her house in the backyard, singing songs, and just hanging out, this little girl was surely spoiied by her Nam! Mimi was in and out to help spoil the princess, but Mimi spent her time in the hospital with us making sure we had everything we needed and were as comfortable as possible.

When it was finally time to go home, I was more than excited to introduce Kayden to her baby sister. We had been talking about “baby Kloey” for months now, but never really knew how much Kayden understood. When we brought her in the house she was initially apprehensive and didn’t really want to touch the baby. She would put her hand as close to Kloey as she could without touching her. We encouraged her to give her sister kisses and hugs. Eventually, she warmed up. She’s still very careful with Kloey, but she always wants to know where she is if she is in another room. She has been so helpful with getting things for me to help Kloey. I am really trying hard to enlist her help and not make Kloey an inconvenience in her life. So far, so good!! I’m really confident that Kayden loves her little sister!
