Annaliese Day Witmer Rhodes

We thank God for our beautiful baby girl! She was born at home on 9/11/10 at 8:40 in the morning, weighed 8 pounds 2 oz, and measured 20 1/2 inches long. Both Annaliese and Sylvia are doing very well. Thanks to all you who have prayed for and encouraged us through this pregnancy and birth.

Wishing....

For some reason, this little girl is waiting a LONG time to be born. I keep having contractions and think I'm going into active labor, and then the contractions stop. I've had several days and several nights of hours of these contractions, but then nothing happens. It's discouraging.
Hoping she'll be born VERY SOON! Pray hard!

Our evening in pictures. The boys both LOVED it this year, and it's so much fun to experience the whole crazy event through their excitement!

Full Term

OK Francis, we are all very ready to meet you, hold you, kiss you, love you, and whole-heartedly welcome you into our family. Doesn't that sound much more fun than being all curled up with just a little room to move around inside your mom's uterus????? Be born very very soon my Little Love!
