Our little girl is here! Anya arrived nearly 2 weeks early, and on Helen’s birthday! She was 6lb 12oz, and 19 ¾ inches long – compare that to Helen who was 6lb 14oz, and Jim who was 8lb 1oz.
We’ve been taking it suuuuper easy around here. Nights are rough since Anya is up multiple times to eat. I’m still pretty weak from giving birth, but doing well so far. If you think of me, would you say a prayer for good health and a swift recovery? I would greatly appreciate it!
I have a few posts in the works/scheduled, but please be patient with me…things will be a little quieter around here until I get my strength back/get into the swing of being a mom of three!
BTW, if you’re interested in baby-related stuff, make sure to follow me on my personal blog, Simple Days. I’ll be sharing my birth story over there, as well as monthly Anya updates. It’ll basically be baby pic spam…you have been warned!
I’ll see you on the other side of postpartum recovery!

Congratulations to you and your family! What an exciting time. Here's to a wonderful spring and happy summer. :) (Summer can't come quickly enough this year, even in southern MN!) I have three girls; after my youngest was born, it was a difficult (albeit incredibly happy) time. You'll feel more like yourself once this loooong winter is over.

Congratulations! She is beautiful! I love her name. Short, sweet, & unique!! I will pray you recover quickly, & make the big adjustment to Mom of 3. Take your time posting. These baby moments won’t come around again!
