We've figured out the answer to this question: Arizona! Well, for us anyway! Our little Sydney was born on Sunday (September 9, 2007) at 12:45 AM after a pretty long labor (she was induced on Saturday morning). She weighed in at 8 lbs. 10 oz and was 20.5 inches long. She's a big healthy girl. :) We went to see her in the hospital and met her birthmom and her family. It was an amazing experience. Here is our first family picture. She's about 15 hours old at this point.
We got to bring her home from the hospital (to our hotel room) on Monday afternoon. She's beautiful and wonderful, even if she does have her days and nights completely turned around. Here are some pictures of her that we just couldn't resist sharing!
Need I say more? 
Peace. Isn't she a groovy baby? ;)
Her first bow. Aren't we glad she loves this car seat?
I love her forehead wrinkles.
The closest we've come to a smile so far!
Who can resist those cheeks?
For anyone who didn't know this was coming - don't feel bad, we didn't tell hardly anyone. For those of you wondering, yes this is why we couldn't come to Haylee's wedding last week and yes she knew that when she set the date. :) Hope this clears up a few things (such as why I didn't blog for like an entire month - what am I supposed to talk about when all I was doing was getting her stuff ready?) Prepare for lots of posts now though because you'll get to see her nursery, the COMPLETED crib bedding (I know, it's hard to believe that I could actually finish all that in 3 1/2 years, but what can I say...) and more. Thanks everyone for your love and support and we hope to see you soon!

Congratulations on such a beautiful baby! I have to admit that I've been following your blog some from Jessica's blog. It's always fun to see what people I knew growing up are doing.

We can't be happier for your little family! Dev, I hope that you got the legal thing figured out. If not, I can ask around this agency. We say super cheap tickets to Denver, so maybe when you all get settled, we will try to come for a little weekend visit! Love you both!
Devony & Aaron,
