Okay so I'm a little behind. What can I say...
Aneka was born on a Wednesday afternoon, June 27, 2001 @ 4:48 pm. The day before she arrived I had a doctor's appointment and he asked that I arrive the next morning at the hospital to be induced the pockets of fluid around her were not as full or as many as he would have liked and thought it would be best to get her out. I was shocked! A baby that comes BEFORE the due date was I to be this lucky. My due date was July 7th. I never dreamed she would come in JUNE. We got home to prepare things for her arrival. Went to bed and woke at 2 am with contractions coming about 10 minutes apart for the next hour. They continued about 5 -I woke Mitch to see if we should go or just wait for our 7 am appointment. Things really didn't progress so we went to the hospital at 7. Checked in and got ready. Well once we got there and set up-things slowed down so they started the PIT to help me along. Finally about 3 I had my epidural!!! I like to call it Happy Hour!!! I was at a 4 at this point. So I thought we have a while to go. Then an hour they checked me I was at 10 and ready to go. Even though it was my 3rd baby I freaked out a little bit--what right now! Well, Dr. Miles barely got gloves on and seated. I gave one push and she was here. As he was cleaning her eyes/nose out-I could feel her shoulders and body just slide right out. She was a perfect little girl. She didn't cry - she just had these BIG blue eyes. She was so tiny and petite. My smallest baby-7 lbs! Big difference from Chaia 8-13.5. When we left the hospital she was down to 6 lbs 12 oz. I loved it!! Finally a tiny baby!! Mitch left and brought the girls back to meet her--Chaia 8, Kaylie 2 -almost 3. Kaylie wouldn't go near her or me. She just hung on to Mitch. Chaia was all over her--being the oldest she knew how this went. Aneka's little cry was so quiet and gentle. She is our Hoosier baby. Born 10 months after we arrived in Indiana. She is gentle, loving, happy she can change my mood with just a hug or kiss. She loves to leave little love notes around the house. We are so happy to have her in our family. We love you Aneka I can't believe it's been 7 years!!
