The Davis Family: Welcome Baby Anna!

Jay and I are so excited to announce the arrival of our new baby girl, Anna Jayne Davis! She was born 8/27/10 at 12:24pm and weighed 8lb 14oz and was 19 inches long. Most importantly she is a beautiful, healthy baby girl. She looks exactly like Emma did when she was born - a big girl with lots of dark hair and blue eyes, although she is a bit smaller as Emma weighed 9lb 3oz.

Aside from some high blood pressure issues that kept me in the recovery room a bit longer than normal, I am recovering well. I have quite a bit of soreness, but Jay has been really helping around the house and with Emma. We have already had our first outing to the pediatrician and she checked up well and has gained an ounce since leaving the hospital. Jay and I were both amazed how long it took us to get the entire family ready for the day, fed breakfast, and out the door.

Anna has been a great baby and sleeps most of the day, waking up only to feed. She has had a couple good nights since being home waking only every 2-3 hours to feed and immediately falling back to sleep. Last night she decided to stay awake between 4-6am, so we are a bit tired today. Emma has been taking her presence extremely well. She LOVES to push her in the swing and bring her toys. She always asks to kiss baby sissy and wants to hold her too. So far she hasn't exhibited too much jealousy, although that could always change.

We feel so blessed to have two healthy baby girls! We are also thankful for all of our loving friends who have stopped by to visit. We also have a wonderful bunch of neighborhood friends who have been bringing us dinner every night - thanks to all of you! We appreciate it so much (we all know Jay is not the best of cooks!) They also helped to take care of Emma while we were in the hospital. We are also looking forward to all of the grandparents visits that begin this weekend for a couple of weeks.

I have TONS of pictures and posted just some of them below. I am also trying to upload videos with some difficulty so look for those in another post.
