Our sweet little Anibella Hope Palmer



Our precious little Anibella Hope was born today, October 28th! She weighs 6 pounds & 7 ounces & is 19 1/4 inches long. She is a tiny, petite, sweet & content little baby girl! We are already SO in love! Anibella was born at 11:19 in the morning! Hard contractions started at 3:15 am & after timing them for about an hour & a half, I woke my Hubby! I got to say those amazing, wonderful words he (AND our sweet girlies!) had been longing to hear & I had been longing to say.........."It's time......!" : ) YAY! Miss Gordon got to our house around 5 am to stay with our girlies & Daddy & I got into OB triage at the hospital at 6 am. When we got there I was already 5 cm, fully effaced & my water bag was ready to break "at any moment" the nurse said! After only 5 hours (of hard labor) & 1 & 1/2 pushes, our sweet baby Anibella entered our world & captured our hearts forever! It has been an amazing privilege & a sweet blessing to spend the day with our new sweet baby girl! God has been so kind & so good, beyond anything we could have ever asked or imagined! I will post more about Anibella's birth later but I wanted to share our sweet news with all of our family & friends who have been excitedly waiting to celebrate with us! I will post more pictures later but here are just a few from labor & delivery.

1 1/2 pushes?! That must be some sort of record. Praise God for that! =)
