Anna Faith

Sunday, September 30th we were blessed with another baby girl, Anna Faith Newman. She was four days past her due date and I was set to be induced on Monday morning. After giving up hope that she would come on her own, my water broke at 7 pm and at 8:50 she was born. I arrived at the hospital at 7:45, was dialated to 6 cm at 8:15 when my doctor checked me, had my IV at 8:30 and blood taken, at 8:40 I started pushing and she arrived at 8:50 pm with NO DRUGS for mommy!! We were blessed with the surprise of a precious baby girl - Miss Anna Faith Newman was 7 lbs, 6 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. She is our biggest baby and simply precious!

 Our amazing friend and doctor - Julie. Her and Burt were in residency together and I was blessed with her being able to be my doctor and actually deliver as she travels a lot with the Army. She was actually the doctor who took care of John when he was born as well. This time she was able to deliver and take care of Anna and myself. We also delivered in the same room as John was delivered, 6 days short of exactly 7 years apart.

 Big brother meeting her for the first time.

 These two are in love!!

 The big brother hanging out in the hospital getting ready to go in late to school. John said my favorite thing, he asked if Faith was her name because she would always believe. We hope so my precious boy as we pray that for each of you.

Mermaid and Pirate

John and Clara were invited to a pirate and mermaid birthday party on Sunday. Here are my little pirate and mermaid ready to go. John wanted his face with a scar and bloody like they did at Disney World's Pirate League so Mommy tried.
