Anya Lu was born Oct 22nd at 12:26pm 8 pounds, 8 oz and 19 inches. She is a healthy, beautiful little love and as sweet as can be.
She is sleeping well, eating lots, all systems are go :) (I forgot how many diapers a newborn is) She was born 3 days late if you go by my first due date, and 1 week early if you go by the 2nd. I honestly think the first one was correct because she is perfect. I couldn't go another week in my emotional state of all over body itching and waking every half hour (last 3 weeks of pg) because of her sitting on all my nerves. Literally :) I haven't felt 3 fingers on each arm for weeks. Dr says it will go away very soon. I'm still waiting on the soon.
Mom is here, thankfully and more photos to follow, but recovery is a little harder this go and probably having a 30lb toddler has much to do with the seemingly slower recovery. And Zaiya being busy, I just don't have my camera at every beck. It by no means lessens our joy and total delight over our sweet Anya Lu. Her first name because we love it and her second for her grandma Lulu (Hagbom) Voth.
To say the least, Zaiya isn't overly impressed. I had a feeling the adjustment would be big and it. really. is. big. Since being home we've had several learning curves, but she always goes to check on Anya for any squeak or sigh. :)
This photo was the first she met Anya and pretty much was a "ummmm , hi. Okay goodbye, you can go back now" wave that cracked us up!
This was a little later when she came to terms that this was a little tiny 'people' and not a dolly. We're very into finding every point on the face and she was determined to show me where Anya's nose was :)
We're tired, but in love with two perfect little darlings and that accounts for energy that we don't feel we have and the awe that we are so lucky to have healthy, loving, and ever so loved kids.
