After many, many doctor visits and ultrasounds and lots of worry, she's here and she's perfect! We went in for induction Monday morning and at 6:28pm Annalee Nalani was born. 6lbs 4oz, 19.25". Pretty good size for a baby we were so worried would be super teeny tiny! It seems she made up some time the last few weeks, going from <3rd percentile for months, to 11th on the last 2 scans, to pretty normal size at birth. Labor went really fast again, once it got started...5cm to baby in about 2 hours and 1 push! Our doctor made it in time to deliver this time. Some of you will be interested to know I did get a working epidural ;-)!
She is a fantastically mellow baby so far (knock on wood) and her brothers absolutely adore her. Jack was almost in tears after leaving the hospital the first night, telling grandma "I didn't even get to hold her!" The next day he did get to hold her and kept telling me "Mama, I just love her so much!" Cole constantly wants to know where the baby is and to continuously give her hugs and kisses. So far she's been very tolerant. We are so grateful she's here and healthy and like Jack, we all "just love her so much!"

What an adorable family.Perfect!!!!
Okay, Matt holding her made her look tiny. But the car seat, so cute! I just want to be there so bad! I've never held a baby under 8lbs, that I remember? How big were Abby, David or Kayley? She's so cute in her scrubs and with the hat and the bow! Can't get enough of her with big brothers...more pictures please!
She is perfect! Wish we could give her hugs and kisses:) but I think cole is giving her enough for the whole family:)
She is so beautiful! Her hair looks more brown than the boys. Is it red? It's hard to tell from the pictures. Congrats! We love you all!

Wow, I just had a baby and yet she looks so tiny. She's perfect and I love her name. Looks like her big brothers are thrilled. Congrats to you and your family!
I am so happy for you. She looks perfect! I can't wait to come and chat and get to see her. Let me know if you need anything!
I am so happy for your cute family! She is such a doll, and you look GREAT! Congrats!!
Yay for pictures of Annalee! She is adorable! We love you all!
CONGRATS you guys!! She is Beautiful! Her big brothers will look out for her well just like Baylee's do for her. And at least one of them will find it fun to torment her well too when she gets to be about 18 months probably. ;) Camden's the pro at that with Baylee, even though they do both ADORE her! Baylee was also very mellow as a baby too. Can't believe she's almost 2 now and you guys are the ones with the new baby girl!!! ENJOY her! So happy she is healthy and well!! What a blessing!
You have such a beautiful family! What precious photos-she is well-loved! (Love her name too!) You are such an amazing mother!
Mindy, Our family can really have little girls?! She's darling.
Now when you have a minute. Be sure and email "Great" Aunt Shauna all of her info for the Disney Cruise. Can't wait to meet her.
