More Baby

Alanna Claire Anderson

We took some new photos of the baby. She is wonderful. She rarely cries, but has her nights and days a bit confused. That is slowly changing though. The boys love her.








Labor and delivery were fast. I am not going to write my whole birth story here, but here are the highlights. I had a Dr. appointment Thursday morning and I scheduled an induction for Friday 10/7/2011. I had regular contractions most of the day Thursday and then Thursday night about midnight contractions sped up to every 5-7 minutes. About 1:15 AM I decided it was time to go to the hospital. We got there about 1:30 AM and she was born at 1:38 AM. It was quick, I did it naturally and I'm glad she's here. She is a wonderful baby.

She had her newborn check up this morning and she's grown 1.5 inches in 5 days. She's back up to her birthweight and she's growing well. We are so excited to have her in our family.
