5 months of morning sickness
Killer heart burn
Pre-term labor
Pinched nerve
3 months of contractions
2 weeks of bed rest
2 months of “decreased activity”
Swollen toes, feet, ankles, calves . . .
2 days late
No meds
11 hours of labor
Totally worth it.
Catherine Elizabeth Marie and I are doing well. She is a champion eater and has been catching up on her beauty sleep – but believe you me, she doesn’t need it. She’s gorgeous. She was awake all through labor, making work hard for us, but now she’s a mellow little lamb. Jac and I are tired but elated. I’m still in a little bit of shock that she is a SHE! They are taking exceptional care of us at the hospital – we’ve been blessed with kind and generous nurses. Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes and we will do our best to keep this spot updated in the coming days and weeks as we adjust to life with our new little girl. God is good – all the time.
She’s beautiful! What a gift! Congratulations to all of you. Rose is please that her prayers for a girl for you were answered. She’s happy that Tess (and Max and Philip) have a sister. Praise God for this beautiful child!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Annie, you look beautiful! That is PURE joy on your face! And no wonder!
Oh, I know that “it’s a girl?!” shock so well! Isn’t it great?!
What a precious picture of Momma and her new little girl!!!
Congratulations – She is gorgeous (and you are too by the way). I am so happy that she is finally here. Can’t wait to meet her at the end of the month. I am sure that Max, Phil, and Tess will show her a thing or two before we get there.
Thanks! We’re pretty glad she’s here, too.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
