She's here! Romey took us by surprise, and made a grand and fast entrance early Thursday morning, December 6. We checked into the hospital around 12:30 a.m., and she appeared at 5:05 a.m. Our room was quickly dubbed as the "room with all the action."
Romey is a "sturdy" gal (as tagged by the doctor). She weighs 8 pounds and 4 ounces, and stretches out to 20 inches. Romey is pronounced like the city, adding a long "E." Jean is a family name (Dan's mom's middle name, my sister's middle name, and my grandmother's middle name) and means "God is gracious." We are feeling completely blessed and completely tired, but couldn't be more thrilled to have made Romey's acquaintance. Avery's a little unsure about Romey, but is muddling through. For now, we're just trying to get her to call her "Baby Romey" instead of "Baby Jesus" as the baby in her nativity set is "Baby Jesus." Terribly funny! More pictures soon, but for now....some rest.

THE TALLENTS
Congratulations! We couldn't be happier for you. Here is hoping when we finally meet her our boy doesn't try to wrestle her to the ground.
She's here...hooray! What a gorgeous and healthy baby. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. I can't believe they start out so small. (Well, it's all relative. You're the one who had to birth her.) We are celebrating with you, though it has to be from our quarantined house. The flu and colds have to pass someday, right? When we can't infect you anymore we'll come and bring a meal and goodies. Until then...we'll be praying for a smooth transition and health for all 4 of you. Ha! "Nelson, family of 4...!"
