Annah's 1st Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was very special this year.  It was Annah's first long trip. 
  She slept all the way to Grandma & Grandpa McEowen's house, met all 4 of her Great Grandmas and lots more of her relatives, slept overnight in a "new" place (for 4 nights!), and started sleeping through the night!  Needless to say, we're looking forward to Christmas!

Quiet baby

   We just wanted to let those of you who have been waiting and searching for Annah's picture at the hospital's website know that it is probably not going to be up for a few more days now.  But, at least now we know why!...  We found the consent form for putting her picture on the internet yesterday.  We didn't even know we had it, and thought we had already signed a consent form.  SO, we'll get that to the hospital and hopefully they'll put up her picture quickly.  In the meantime, we're working on getting some of our own pictures developed and will try to have some of those online this week sometime if possible.  We're so sorry about the confusion! 

        Annah is doing very well.  She's a quiet baby almost all of the time.  The past 2 nights it has been pretty tough to get her to sleep, but we think it was just gas. ;-)  She gets more adorable all of the time. 

Annah Christine!

     As you have probably heard already, our little one, Annah Christine, has arrived.  She is beautiful and is doing very well!  She had her first visit to the pediatricians office yesterday and has already gained an ounce over her birth weight!  She's a very calm and quiet baby so far, and eats and sleeps a lot. 

        We know many of you have been looking for Annah's picture at the hospital website.  It should be posted any time now, and we're not sure exactly what the hold-up is.  Just keep checking; and hopefully you'll see her soon.  We'll try to send an e-mail to you all letting you know once its up. 

         More details of Annah's birth and first days should be coming soon...once Mommy is feeling up to making more additions to the webpage.
