Anna's 2 Week Check-Up

Anna had her two week check-up today, and besides a few tears because her nap was interrupted, all went well! She's up to 8 pounds and 14 ounces and has grown 1/4 inch since her birthday. She also made her first trip to Barnes & Noble today where we purchased her first book - it's all about farm animals (big surprise, huh?). I'll probably jinx it by writing this but she's been sleeping almost every night from about 11 p.m. to 3:15 a.m., which has been a great relief to her mom.

Here's some more pictures of Anna Banana (as cousin Thomas calls her). One thing is for sure...this girl likes her milk. It's safe to say she has my appetite and she keeps me busy. We have her two week appointment next Friday so hopefully she'll be well above her birth weight by that time. The weather has been beautiful so I had the house to myself for about 20 minutes today while Martin took her for a walk around the block - who knew the house could be so quiet?!?

Anna sends happy birthday wishes to cousin Ian today!

Introducing Anna Inez Brash.....

She's here! Anna Inez arrived on June 1st!!!! The labor was relatively easy (as labors go) - they broke my water at 7:30 a.m. and started the pitocin at about 8:00. I was told that my contractions were between 2 1/2 - 3 minutes apart so things got moving quickly. I had an epidural at about 9:45. They came in to check in on me at 10:05 and by that time my contractions were really painful so I was wondering if the epidural worked - turned out I was dilated to 9 cm and I started pushing at 10:30!

At 11:58 a.m. Anna Inez was born, weighing in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces and was 21 inches long! It still hasn't sunk in that she's here - my sleep-deprived state might have something to do with it too! She is named after our maternal grandmothers, Anna Bymoen and Inez Bergeson. Here's some pictures of our beautiful daughter.....
