Miss Annie

Annie Elizabeth Phelps was born Monday, December 12th at 12:01pm. She weighed 7lbs. 10oz. and was 20 in. long.  We were very surprised to have another little girl.  A lot of this pregnancy was  different for me and I really thought I was having a boy.   Thrilled to have two girls though!

I am still totally amazed at how the Lord creates each one of us.  The whole process is such a miracle to me.  We feel grateful for a healthy baby.  We feel blessed and loved that the Lord would entrust us with another one of His children.    

Thank you all for the love, support, and prayers for  us this week!  

More to come...       

 

Changes

My nesting is in full swing lately and, as a result, we have been quite productive around the house these days.  

Our guest room is now a nursery

Big sister is rocking the twin bed

 Since I am no longer working our office is now a playroom (still a work in progress). 

AND after 3.5 months of not having a working dishwasher, we have a fixed dishwasher!  

Don't ask why it took that long to fix.  I don't even care I just know it only takes me about 5 mins to clean the kitchen now.  Never been so thankful for an appliance in my life! 

The beach and some news

We just returned Sunday from 10 days of pure bliss on the beach. There was not one part of me ready to come home either. I have been fighting all week making myself get back into reality and our routine here.

I will post more pictures from our trip this weekend, but I will leave you with some fun news we have to share.
Caroline is going to be a big sister! We are excited to welcome another little munchkin to the family this Christmas. I am 12 weeks along now and feeling a little better each week. I have been sick, but felt better this go around than I did with Caroline. Now, you know the reason for my blog absence lately too! We are so grateful and thrilled over another gift of a child from the Lord.
