She's here!

It's been a kind of long day, but I'm finally home, with pictures, loaded onto the computer, etc. The dogs have been cared for, Ashley is fine, Kevin is asleep, all's right with the world.

And there's one more little person in the world today. Meet Maci Annallyce, 7 lbs 12 oz, 18 3/4 inches long, exactly the same size as her sister Madi was when she was born.

Ashley is doing well, and very happy to no longer be pregnant. Other than that picture, which I was not present for, I haven't seen the littlest one awake yet, maybe tomorrow. So far she seems quiet and good natured, LOL, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers, they helped. A lot.

Annie

    Oh Annie, she is adorable. It seems she will fit in well with your family where all the women are adorable (and smart and savvy).

    Well Happy Birthday Miss Maci. What a beautiful young lady you are. You have so much to learn and so much to give. Im so glad you got here safe and sound. Can't wait to see pictures of you cooking with your Gram. Watch out, she probably already has your name entered in the baking category of the State Fair!
    Congratulations to all. Mary

    OMG, Annie. Maci is precious! What a cutie - that little face rule her world. I imagine Mom/Dad are so enamored. Glad everybody's doing well.

    Nice to meet you, Maci. And happy birthday!

    Being an expert in baby sign language, I believe Maci is either asking for mommy, or pledging allegiance to the flag. Don't know.

    I do know she's adorable and (already) a smart cookie.

    Congratulations mom, dad and the entire crew.

    Breathe, Annie.

    Congratulations! What a sweetie! She is so alert in the first pic; doesn't look like a newborn. Is the middle name a nod to Grandma? Glad you are all doing well.

    Thank you, everyone. This is the most peaceful baby I've ever encountered, possibly because she already gave her mother months of grief before she was born?

    Liz, the middle name is a combination of mine and Kevin's Grandmother, who was named Allyce (pronounced Ah-leese, not Alice). I told Ashley it wasn't important to me, but it was important to her, as the name was originally meant to be Maci Allyce. I think Annallyce is kind of a mouth full for a little one, but it's unique.

    Beautiful baby - lovely name - happy everyone is healthy! The struggles will be a distant memory........Congrats to all!

  • lizbeth-gardener

    Annie, I think Annallyce is a beautiful name. I've never heard the name before, which is even better-love not having ten others in her class with the same name and I'm glad she chose to honor you with a namesake!

    A+ on this project! She is worth all that was invested in getting her here. Isn't it funny how once in our arms, all is forgotten except the beauty and sweetness of these little angels.

    Oh Annie! I came over to check out if the baby was here and there she is! She is so stinking cute! Congratulations!

    Give Ashley and Kevin a big hug from me and tell them congrats, they did good!

    She looks perfect, just like all the women in the family. Hug and kiss her neck for me. I love her name too.

    Iris!!!!! I'm so happy to see you again, it's been so long. And oh, how I've missed you!

    Here's my favorite picture so far. Maci is bored with her big sister, apparently, judging from the yawn. Madi is just thinking what she's going to do with her for the rest of her life, LOL.

    Annie

    How precious they both are! Madi has really grown!! And how old is Madi now? Thanks for the pic.

    What a cute picture of both girls...What's the older ones name and how old is she? gosh I've missed a lot. These are both Ashley's... right? Wow... where does time go. How are you doing Annie.. still working? Guess I'll have to do some reading to catch up with everything going on here.

    Iris

  • annie1992

    Iris, you sure will have to catch up!

    The older girl is Madison, more commonly referred to as Madi. She's 20 months old. They are both Ashley's, Amanda's kids are now 7 and 9, they'll be 8 and 10 in October/November.

    I retired a year and a half ago, and I remarried 5 years ago. Dad passed away and I bought the farm I grew up on, we're hoping to build there in the spring. We just sold Elery's house and are hoping to have mine on the market in another month or so.

    Lots of things are happening, LOL, but I missed you and I'm glad you are back.

    So, how are you? Well? Happy? Still working or retired?

    I am so glad I came back to this thread so I saw the most recent Madi/Maci photo. That is too cute or words. I love Madi's explosive hair and Maci's sweet yawn.

  • doucanoe

    Wow, I didn't realize how long it's been since I checked in here!

    Sorry I missed the big day, but so happy to hear the report that the birth went well and everyone is doing great!

    Little Maci is a doll (as is her big sister). I love both her names! We have a little girl on our street named Analise, spelled differently but pronounced the same.

    I'm happy that I checked back in too! I love Pam's description of Madi's hair and Maci's little yawn is precious!

    What a great pic!!! I am beyond jealous!!!

    My day will come , I know it will but unfortunately I'll likely have to use a walker to push the buggy.

    ...can one even do that? LOL

  • annie1992

    Sharon, I have faith in you. You'll figure it out.

    You know, you could get one of those walkers with the little basket, just put the baby right in there, they're small. (grin)

    This one is a crabby little one, and loud!
