Anna Brooks is here!

With a waiting room full of eager Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles, Anna Brooks made her debut entrance into the world a little before 4:30 pm on Friday, August 2nd! I finally made it to the hospital around 6, just in time to see her get her first bath and check up. Momma Meredith was in some pain, but was the prettiest woman I had ever seen to just give birth. Daddy Brooks was frantically excited as he ran from one room to the next to make sure that everyone knew what was going on. Big sister, Michael Mae, seemed to be more interested in sitting on Uncle Stu's lap while watching "Rhymes" on Mammie's Ipad, than to notice she now had a baby sister!

We all gathered at the window to watch Brooks and Nurse Kim give Anna her first bath, check up, and also made her foot prints on her birth certificate. I am not usually a fan of new borns, but Anna Brooks was just so cute! She had the prettiest little hands and feet, and perfect little fingernails. Of course she has blue eyes to match the rest of the family, and she was born with a little bit of dark hair.

 

After all the excitment from our engagement, we stopped by Brooks and Meredith's house to see how everyone was doing since they were home from the hospital. Sweet Uncle Stu couldn't wait to hold his new baby girl! In between playing hide and seek with MM, Stuart and I alternated on who got to hold little Anna. She was so sweet just sleeping away, and woke up a little to smile for us a couple times.
