Anna!

Emilie did an excellent job of describing her labor and delivery of Anna (see here if you haven't read it  The House of Davis) so I will just add my thoughts about Emilie.  She was amazing!  Most of the time as she labored she looked as if she were asleep as she rode out the contractions.  Logan had to remind the nurses not to talk to her while she was having a contraction so she could relax.  She listened to her body and responded and the nurses were totally unprepared for the quick birth.  At the end they were pleading with her to not push while they got the Dr who was already in the hospital.  It was a priviledge and a blessing to be included in this wonderful event.  It is always awe inspiring to watch one of Heavenly Father's children enter this world.On Saturday afternoon Papa and I took Tommy up to see his mom and new sister. 

He brought his mom a rose for Anna:

A beautiful picture of Anna.  She sucked her thumb right away and then nursed like a champ.  She is beautiful like her mother and even has the same birthmark on her leg.

 Papa is very attached to Anna already and is determined he is going to spoil her!


When They brought Anna home Tommy had this great conversation with her and counted her toes...all the way up to eleven! I have a video of it but it won't upload so I have to get some tech help!  Jack is also doing well with "baby" and so far embraces her as a member of the family.  Fortunately for Emi he entered a big "daddy" phase just before Anna came.

Heavenly Father surely has blessed our family and now it is on to the wedding!
