On Tuesday, January 22nd at 8:47pm, as Deanna squeezed my hand while I wiped away the tears from her tightly shut eyes, I relayed the words, “She’s here! Our baby girl is finally here.” From that moment, everything I knew about myself and my family changed. I watched as my tiny daughter struggled to open her eyes for the first time, within seconds of being placed in my arms. I witnessed the instant calm that came over her when she was placed on upon Deanna’s chest. And I saw Hannah assume the role of “big sister” with the greatest of ease. At 8:47pm on the eve of January 22, 2008, Addison Elizabeth Brett was born.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! We really couldn't be happier these days.
I was planning to write quite a bit on this topic and outline our day leading up to the delivery, but opted against it after writing my initial paragraph. Deanna has just posted a pretty lengthy summary, though. So if you're interested in hearing more, head over to her blog.
Awwwwwwww, she's adorable!
Well done, she looks gorgeous.

Awesome man! And Congrats once again.
You know the cool thing about your baby? She actually looks cute and adorable form birth! That sounds funny to say I know, but I've found that alot of new born babies aren't exactly the cutest bundles of joy I've seen, but Addison is an exception. She's a very cute little bub!
Hey Matt. Congratulations : )
Congratulations! I always forget how small they start out…
