It's a GIRL!

She is here!!! Our sweet beautiful baby girl is here (and a week early, much to our surprise!)

Anisen Pearl arrived on Friday, August 19th at 6:38 a.m. She was 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. . . and might we add, absolutely PERFECT!!! :-) She is named after her Great-Great Grandma Annie on her dad's side and she got her middle name from her Great-Great Grandma & Great-Grandma's middle names on her mom's side. They were/are all wonderful people and we are excited that she can carry on their names!


Well, it all began Thursday after in-service. Mommy got home and started cleaning up around the house, when she thought maybe her water broke. . . turns out it did! She called the hospital and they said to give it a couple hours and then come in. We got to the hospital around 8:30. The hospital was SO busy they didn't even have a room for us right way when we got there. Finally they moved us into the suite. It had a nice pull out chair for daddy!


Finally at 6:32 a.m. the nurse came into check Mommy and said she was ready to start pushing and she was going to get the Dr. Then at 6:38 she was BORN! Still in shock that it all happened so fast, considering it took the Dr. a couple minutes to get to our room and get prepped. :-)






Nana and Papa got up at 3 and left for the hospital. Made it just in time too!



Grandpa and Grandma were nice enough to spend the night with the kids. They got to the hospital as soon as they could!





Our first family photo!




Here she is after her bath. We think she looks a lot like Mommy and Brother!




We had lots of visitors throughout the day! Everyone was super excited to meet Baby Anisen!









Finally it was time for bed. She slept really good from 9-11:30, but then was up straight until 5:30 in the morning. So needless to say, Mommy and Daddy did not get any sleep! It is a good thing she is so cute!







The next morning we were able to go home, which we were super excited about! Here Daddy is getting her in the car seat.




All ready!



Ahh. . . finally at home!



Can you tell she is well liked?!?!







We are so blessed and finally complete now that Baby Anisen is home safe and sound! God is good!
