After 10 long weeks of bedrest and many worried nights and days—–Beautiful Ms. Anna P made her grand entrance into the world on 03.20.08 at 3: 38 pm ( first day of spring). She weighed 7 pounds and was 20 inches long. She instantly won over her parents hearts.
She suffered a fractured collar bone on the weigh out ( poor little girl) and had some significant bruising to her head ( traumatic birth I guess) as well as a little round of jaundice–BUT otherwise is quite healthy and robust. We are loving having her here with us and are still shell shocked that she is ours!!! Mom and dad are of course busy as ever and are struggling to find time to rest. We hope to be updating this blog down the road and especially adding pictures are we go. Here are a few to start.
Hi Melissa , Ryan, and Baby Anna,
I really am enjoying the pictures and entries, Keep them coming. I really liked the picture of Ryan holding Baby Anna the first time,( What happened to it?) it is so filled with Adoration, love and emotion.
Melissa please let us know what the balloon is doing? And about the new Job ?
I will be there soon to visit the new P family.(8 more days)
Love, Mom(Grandma)
Baby Anna is Beautiful! I am so excited you guys had a girl! We are surrounded by them… I am sure Mark has filled you in our girls X 3. Hope you are sleeping some, it is easy with one baby to sleep when they sleep, it all goes away when you have more. Would love to hear from you, when you are ready, please get in touch and we can exchange pics of the little ones. Love and miss you both. Congratulations! You did an amazing job.
Thanks MOM and Jeff and Stacy.
Would love to see your pics of your daughters sometime. Thanks for checking the blog out.
Need to keep up dates coming.
