Welcome Ari Louise Anderson!













Ari Louise Anderson was born 12/26/2008 at 5:36am. It was an unforgettable Christmas day that started with my water breaking at 3:30am. I've imagined this whole pregnancy that we would be driving to the hospital either on Christmas day or in a snow storm...turns out it was both. Luckily we made there without any major hiccups.

The past two weeks have been kind of a blur. On the one hand it's gone by fast, but on the other it feels like Ari has been with us forever. Sleeping and eating is still her main M.O., but she is starting to take note of the world around her. The other day I put her in her car seat that I had decked out a few days previously with some little dangling toys. She, of course, threw a fit about going in the car seat, but by the time we got to the car she was calm and staring perplexed at the bear hanging from her car seat. She was quiet the whole 20 minute car ride so I assumed she was asleep, but when we got to our destination she was still staring at the bear. Not sure if she decided he was friend or foe.

Here are some pictures of her first couple weeks.
