Annika Ruby Hyer -- 6 lbs 12 oz.!!!!




Andy is making this entry. Well she's here. And she came very, very quickly. Charity had been having little contractions on and off for weeks. But today at 7:30 she said we'd better get to the hospital sometime this morning. With Caleb, Charity had started having contractions at 10:00 p.m. and Caleb wasn't born until after 7 the next morning. So we took our time letting Caleb sleep in, feeding him, gathering things up, taking Caleb to our friends, etc. Long story short, we got the hospital around 9:15 and the baby was born before 9:50.

Both mother and baby are now doing well. And little Annika immediately latched (which was not at all the case with Caleb)! I'm going to go pick up Caleb right now. I'm really excited for him to meet his sister. More pictures to follow. Thanks!
