My BAAAAAABY!!

Our first week at home with two kids has been wonderful. Jacob absolutely loves his baby sister who he affectionately calls "My Baaaaaby" in his sweet southern drawl. Jacob starts talking about Anna as soon as he gets out of bed and loves having her around. He gives Anna lots and lots and lots of kisses everyday. We are so blessed to have our two precious babies!

Anna had her first pediatrician appointment today and we were excited to get a great report. She now weighs 7lbs, 7oz (25th percentile) and is 20 1/2 inches (30th percentile).

Welcome Home Anna!

After a six night stay we were very excited to come home from the hospital!

Jacob was SO EXCITED to have "Baby" home!! Nana and Gramps took Jacob to the store to pick out balloons and flowers to welcome us home and he loved giving us his gifts. Of course, his favorite gift was lots and lots of kisses for Anna. He was so incredibly sweet and cute!

Halloween Part 2: "Anna Renae is Born!"

Halloween became a little more eventful when I suspected my water had broken. Jimmy and I headed to the hospital around 7:30pm and my suspicions were confirmed. We were both in a little bit of shock but very excited as the hospital staff started preparing us for Anna's c-section delivery. Anna arrived at 9:41pm and was a healthy 7lbs, 5oz and 20.5 inches long. We are so blessed!!!

Here's our sweet Anna!! One of the nurses made an adjustment to her cap so she'd be styling in the nursery with a cute bow!
The next morning Nana told Jacob they were going to meet Baby Anna at the hospital. Jacob ran into Anna's room and got her pink stuffed hippo to bring. He walked into our hospital room with the hippo saying "Baby, Baby, Baby!" and was so excited to give his new sister her toy.

Jacob has been showering Anna with lots and lots of kisses!

Halloween Part 1: "Pumpkin Carving and Trick-or-Treating"

Our Halloween activities started with Jimmy and Jacob making our Jack-o-lantern. This picture precisely displays Jacob's interest level in pumpkin carving. Oh well, there's always next year and Daddy sure had fun!

Here's our cute giraffe dressed and ready for some trick-or-treating! Although we couldn't get a smile for the camera, Jacob was very excited to wear his costume and had a good time trick-or-treating with Daddy and Nana.
