Lise Marie Hoyer

Lise (we're pronouncing it like 'fleece' but without the 'f') Marie arrived this morning at 10:47. She weighed 8 pounds, 3 ounces and was 21 inches long. Unlike her big sister, Lise sped through the whole process and was anxious to enter the world. She "popped out," as Claire likes to say, less than 2.5 hours after we arrived at the hospital this morning AND allowed us both to sleep plenty last night.




Claire and Lise met for the first time this afternoon. Claire was a little uncertain, but quickly warmed up to her li'l sis and gave her plenty of kisses and loved holding her. Lise was not quite as interesting to Claire as the hospital bed, however, which could be raised, lowered, and adjusted this way and that, all with the push of a button. If anybody is getting an early start on Christmas shopping for Claire a hospital bed might be a good place to start.





Needless to say we are thrilled to have another healthy daughter and look forward to getting to know her. Welcome to the family, Lise!
