After many many many long awaited months, Anna Kayt has finally made her arrival. We went into the hospital Wed. morning, April 6th, at 6am to be induced. :) After what seemed like just a few short hours, Anna Kayt was here by 11:22!! She weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 19.5 cm long!! We were shocked!! Her big sister weighed almost 2 more pounds than her and she was 2 inches longer, so we were so excited to see such a tiny baby :) (Which also means that recovery would hopefully be much easier... :) She has been such a sweet and relaxed child since the minute she was born. The Lord was smiling on us when he blessed us with her because she has been a dream come true. She very rarely ever cries, even at night, and since night one has known the difference between day and night! I am counting every single one of my blessings with her and pray that this continues :) She is such a good little eater and oh how I love those newborn sounds that they make!! I am constantly reminded when I see Olivia, how fast they grow up and how quick this newborn stage lasts. I am trying to enjoy every minute of it!!I have had several people tell me that Anna Kayt actually looks like me...... I don't think anyone ever told me that about Olivia. :) She is my dark headed child and (unlike me) she seems to have very dark skin.
Life with two has definitely been interesting over the past 12 days. We have had 2 weddings that we attended. J.R.'s sisters wedding was last weekend, so Anna Kayt made her debute at the ripe old age of 4 days, and my sisters wedding was the following Saturday!!! Not to mention that Olivia woke up last Monday morning (my first day alone with both girls) and she has a 102 fever. So my mom and I loaded up both girls and headed to Peds. East to find out that Olivia had a fever virus and I needed to keep them seperated for 3 - 5 days. Oh goodness! On a good note though, Anna Kayt weighed 7lbs 2oz so she is a very healthy and happy growing baby! :)
Sometimes I just can't believe that I actually have 2 little girls! I hope and pray that they will be little buddies and can't wait to watch them grow up (even thought I don't want that to happen for a long time!) Here are a few pics from of the past 12 days :)
JR and his 2 girls :)
You know you are loved when your big sister shares her Elmo doll with you!
Heading to Heather's wedding with her Wisa :) And yes, she did wear her hot pink sunglasses down the aisle!
Our newborn pictures taken by Lindsey Walker! I thought they turned out sooo cute. She is also our ultrasound tech at my OB's office so I think that Anna Kayt has definitely changed a lot since the very first picture that she took of her at 6 weeks pregnant :)
