Meet Meredith Nicole Hannig.  Our precious baby girl was born on 7.2.13 at 5:57pm.  We thought it would be a third boy, but God gave us a girl to love.  The past few weeks have been a blessing and a blur as we all transition to a family of 5.  As life begins to settle down going forward, I hope to have more time to reflect on how I've felt the past 4 1/2 weeks - the amazement, the challenge, the heartache, and the joy.  Until then, feast your eyes on this beautiful girl.
