Happy Anna!

Our sweet little lovebug was born on Monday, October 18 at 7:26am!  We are THRILLED to welcome Anna Kathryn Reppard to our family.  She is an absolute joy to us all!   We all need some rest, but we wanted to send out a few more pictures!  (Also, please pray for Anna as she has some jaundice issues and is spending her days in the “tanning bed” and away from her mama.  We are hoping and praying she’ll be able to head home with us in a day or two!)

Daddy and his love . . . nothing beats seeing my love holding his little girl.  Oh, my heart!

When she was born, the doctors kept saying “look at that face!  look at her face!  how cute!”  I thought this was just hysterical!

Snuggling with her namesake, Aunt Katie (Kathryn!) . . . what a wonderful, loving, and compassionate (not to mention, FUN) auntie Miss Anna has!

Here are some solo shots of our sweet Anna.  She is so cute, I could eat her up!  Oh, the cheeks!! IMG_3082  IMG_3109

Anna has a tiny spike of hair that insists on standing up straight!  So adorable! IMG_3115

Tiny toes!

And, a sneak peak at what’s to come from our favorite visitors! (please notice William is laying across my lap and trying to get to the baby! we may have to put her in a hammock hanging from the ceiling for safety!  ha ha!)

Meeting her big brothers for the first time!

This is one of my VERY FAVORITE pictures of all time!IMG_6677

I’m pretty sure that this is the conversation that took place between these boys today:

Hudson:  Please do not touch me with that tiny baby.

William:  Please stop holding down my hands so I can go touch that tiny baby!  IMG_3196

And, our glow worm!  They have her on a lit up blanket to help with her little jaundice and blood issues.  Please pray for Jesus to fully heal her so we can go home together.  I CANNOT get over the cheeks in this picture!  IMG_6588

Thank you for your prayers and for loving our family!  We are just so excited about our new little lovebug!  Baby Anna is such a joy to us all!

She is too cute for words and I am hoping her hair does not tame any time soon because it is adorable!

Congrats!!!! She is absolutely gorgeous and looks so much like the boys baby pictures. I love her precious cheeks and that adorable tuft of hair that sticks up. What a joy!! I can't wait to meet her. I hope you are feeling well and that your recovery is quick. I know it will be hard to rest post c-section with twin boys and a new baby girl, but try to take care of yourself too. (yes, that is the nurse in me talking). Thanks for posting pictures, I have been looking daily!!!

Oh my, she is such a doll! We are SO excited for y'all. We will be praying that you get some sleep, for little Anna's jaundice and also for her big brothers as they adjust to their new role. Can't wait to see y'all and meet baby Anna!!!
