Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

BABY ANNE IS HERE!
Kathryn Anne McAllister was born at 7:31 am Tuesday morning. She weighed 7lbs. 9oz, and is 19.75 inches long. It was a long haul getting her here...my induction started just after noon on Monday! It took 18 hours to get from being dilated 3 centimeters when we arrived to 7 centimeters at 6:30 on Tuesday morning. Then everything went really fast and she was born an hour later! Because the night was going to be so long, we sent my mom home to sleep with plans for her to come back when things got closer. I called my mom at 6:30 telling her to come, and then two contractions later I called her back to tell her to "get here now!" She just made it in time! Baby Anne is much smaller than our other babies...a pound less, two inches shorter, with a head over an inch smaller...she is a petite little beauty with a high pitched cry like tiny kitten. We are all just eating her up! In Heather's words "Oh! She is soooTUTE!"
Proud parents Cuddles with Nanny... All dressed and ready to come home! Ewan and Heather are both feeling a little insecure and needing lots of love, but they are sure crazy about their new sister!
Rebecca and Evan, So fun to see how your family is doing. I haven't heard from you in a while. Anne is so petite and beautiful. Congratulations! I just love seeing a new baby come into the world surrounded by excited siblings (and great parents). We are expecting a new baby, coming in December. You are welcome to take a look at our blog: www.kongaikafamilyblog.blogspot.com
Rebecca, I was showing Lillianne the big picture of you, Evan and the baby and she said"Awww, sweet baby!" and then I scrolled down to the freshly popped out pic and she said "Ewwww, gross!". I just thought it was funny because I have never heard her say that before. Anyway, your baby is sweet and not gross.
AHH! I've been waiting, and WAITING for this post! She's beautiful! at 7.9 she was a lb SMALLER than the rest of your kids?! Dang. You're a power woman!! She is so beautiful and just gorgeous. Looks like your kids are excited to see her as well. Congrats! I hope the recovery is substantially faster than the delivery!
WoW~you look great, can hardly tell you just went through all that work. She is beautiful, we sure hope we can see her before she is walking. Sheena would just love cuddling with her. Take care and try and get some rest, we all love you and miss you and your family very much.
Hi! Remember me from way back in high school? (was it high school?) Your kids are so adorable, and congratulations on your new little girl, she is so precious! It's been so long since I had my baby girl, you are making me nostalgic. Too cute.
Your kids were so cute on Halloween, too. My oldest was Indiana Jones, too! (You can look at my blog, if you're interested: http://hallfabfive.blogspot.com/
