Our new addition

Life has been a little crazy since our precious Annie Thatcher arrived. I've found myself napping (trying to recover from the sleepless nights) if I ever have any free time during the day...which is not often. That is why it has taken me so long to blog about Annie Thatcher.

Annie Thatcher was born August 16, 2011 at 8:27am. She was 7lbs 5oz and 20.5 inches long. I was scheduled to be induced that morning, but Annie decided to come on her own, with the contractions starting during my date with Eliot at Dianne's on Devine (a really nice restaurant in Columbia). I remember feeling the contractions and timing them throughout our dinner. When I realized that they were probably the "real thing" I texted my mom (who was already at my house watching Bradford) that it had begun...but told her I was staying through dessert. If you have ever tasted Dianne's Toffee Crunch Cookie Sundae, then you would have stayed too.

Below is a picture of Annie the day she was born. Such a precious gift from God. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow..."
