We are so happy to announce the birth of our daughter Anna Ellise Fowlkes. She was born Friday, February 29th (yes, leap year), 2008, weighed 6 lbs, 13.5 oz, has beautiful blue yes and strawberry blonde hair.
She is the most perfect little nugget in the universe, and we are sooooo happy she's finally here.
Mom, Dad and baby are doing well after a good 12 hour labor and delivery, and 2 days in the hospital. We are home now and all are welcome to come visit any time!!
Below are images of the big morning, afternoon, evening, and next three days.
Mama upon arrival to the hospital - she has no idea what's about to happen over the next 11 hours.
First picture - getting cleaned up. She didn't cry for the first 5 minutes... finally got one!
Our little girl - several minutes old - what a knockout!
The first offical weigh-in!
Dad and daughter... love at first sight!
