Welcome to the world Bea!

Well, I guess we had a baby yesterday (June 26).  She's just about 24 hours old and cute as can be (and super squishy and chubby)!  She came out with her eyes wide open, calmly exploring and trying to figure out this big world and she's doing just great!
We debated her name for a little while between Batman, Strawberry Shortcake and a few other awesome choices and eventually settled on Beatrice Maye Hansen.  She's named after her Great Great Grandma Bea and her middle name is a mix between her 2 Grandmothers' middle names: Marie + Gaye = Maye.  She was 7 pounds, 15.5 ounces (that's 8 pounds for you rounder uppers) and 20.5 inches long.
For those of you in Indiana, you'll notice that her initials are BMH.  We did not do that on purpose, however, we are excited that she will have the "strength it takes" (http://iuhealth.org/blog/detail/the-strength-it-takes/).
So, here are some pictures and a short video for your viewing pleasure.


More to follow of course.
This pretty much sums up my medical knowledge so far through residency.
