The Cole Girls

I have not yet been able to get a pic of all 4 kids together. So these are the best I can do.
Here is Laura, Lily and Annie Rose this morning. The big girls are out now with granny going to the library. Annie is asleep (it seems that is all she does, I have to wake her to get her to eat!). Matthew and I are just about to do some history reading. I am reading him a great book called 'Tales of Ancient Egypt'. It has very fantastical tales, such fun to read!

Annie and the big kids

How precious

The house is quiet. All the family have gone to church. I am here alone with my precious new Annie Rose. She is asleep and I just took this photo a moment ago. I am thinking of all the fun things we are going to do in her life!

Annie Rose had a TON of visitors while at the hospital. A total of 8 different families from our church visited her! One of our pastors and my friend Christi were with us all day in the hospital until after she was born. It was so nice to have supporters to come, visit and pray for Annie.
Here is a picture of our pastor, Ted Seago and some of his kids with Annie on Friday.

On Saturday we got to take Annie home. Here is a proud Lily and granny holding Annie just before we set off for home.

Laura meeting Annie Rose

My mum brought the siblings in to see Annie at about 7pm. She got losts of hugs and pats and kisses and pawings. Welcome to the world! She is well loved already.

Introducing Annie Rose

Here is Annie Rose 30 minutes after she was born. Her very first photo.

She was born on Thurday 1/26/06, her aunty Traci's birthday, at 2:32pm.

The delivery was pretty straight forward, minus a little trouble with the epidural. I didn't take too well to what ever drug they gave me and it slowed her birth down. I was almost doubting myself for getting the drugs as labor up to 6cm was pretty easy... but Annie was born face up and the doctor said she was glad I had the epidural as face up births are more painful.

Now we are at home, recovering well.
