....and baby makes 3!

Well, we survived! We made it home today around noon, and are just trying to figure out how things are going to be in Annika's world! So far, so good! It is just surreal to be here, and there is a part of each of us in her! Wow! We could not be happier, Annika Joye is 8 pounds, 5 ounces, 20.3 inches long, and just perfect! *what else would you expect??!*

Although she was stubborn, her eviction went relatively well. She stuck around for about 20 hours more than we desired, but it is all well; the end result is more than exceptional!

I know there has been confusion on how you actually say her name. Well, it is like saying "Hanukkah" without the "H". I hope that makes sense...and the name comes from Norwegian, Scandinavian and German backgrounds...pretty much what Matt and I are. Don't know for sure where the name came from---but it was the only one we could agree on! Matt did have free reign over the middle name. I think after he saw what a woman goes through with labor, he couldn't not give her mine!

Matt is a wonderful daddy! He is getting to be a pro diaper changer too! He will be taking off this week from work; it will be great for us to be a family together for awhile before all the grandparents start coming in! We are very excited to have guests!

Well, more will be posted later, but this is it for today. There is so much to talk about, but I must sign off--supper time!
