Introducing Little Jane

Jane Hackett was born April 28th - right on her due date - and weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces, 19 inches 1/4 inches. She is a great nurser and gained her birth weight back and then some in 6 days. In fact, her belly got so big that her umbilical cord just popped right out.
She is doing great and we have included a picture of Helen when she was born so that you can decide for yourselves if they look alike. Jane is in the first picture and Helen is in the second. Some people (like Ryan) might argue that nearly all newborns look the same - purple/pink, wrinkly and upset when on the scale.
Mom came and was a huge help for a week. Then Amber and Levi came to keep us company for a few days. It was a little like having twin toddlers. Mostly Helen tried to boss Levi around and Levi just ignored her unless Helen suggested something particularly naughty to do.
Here are the Hackett sisters relaxing on Jane's new quilt that Linda made for her.
