Annika Desirae Urvina


Annika Desirae Urvina was born on Sunday February 3rd, 2008, at 6:18 pm (Right in the middle of the Super Bowl, thank goodness for DVRs). She weighed 8 lbs and 6 ozs, was 21.25 inches long and has more hair than I've ever seen on a little baby.

Gavin liked to keep his distance at first. He has slowly warmed up to the new "baby" in our family. He is very good at using his quiet voice to tell everyone that baby is sleeping.

Adrienne stayed at the hospital with Annika for several days as the nurses worked on clearing up a little case of Jaundice. Madi and Gavin enjoyed going to see Annika and Mommy, probably because of all the great snacks Mommy had there.

Finally on Thursday, February 7th, we got to dress Annika in some cute clothes to take her home. The kids were so excited to have Adrienne and their new sister come home.

It was a pretty windy day on Thursday, so we decided to try out Annika's cuddly bear parka.

After five long days, Annika finally arrives home.
