Baby Ashley Claire is here!


Ashley Claire Anderson * 7 pounds, 10 ounces* 20.5 inches long at 10:23am
 
I was induced with her on September 10, 2014 (to prevent her from being born on the sidewalk:).  I felt my first hard contraction right after the Dr. broke my water and about 45 minutes  and two pushes later she arrived.  The Pitocin was pretty painful and at one point I had continuous hard contractions for about 10 min.  I mentioned something to the nurse and she said, "Ok, we can probably turn the drip off."  Yikes!  I wished that had been noticed sooner.  She was beautiful and healthy and we love having her apart of our family!
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
When she was first born we thought she looked a lot of Grant.  Now we see mostly Grant with a little bit of Madelynn.  She definitely looks like one of ours :).
 

The kids visited the day Ashley was born.  Unfortunately, they weren't allowed to visit the 2nd day because of a respiratory infection that was going around.

 
One proud papa!
 

 On her way home!

 
 
Madelynn has especially fallen in love with baby Ashley and is very eager to hold her and help with baths and picking out clothing.
