Annika - 2 Weeks Old

Annika Ireese Baxley

Hello All!
Annika Ireese Baxley finally arrived Tuesday June 22nd, 2010 at 6:00pm. She weighed 8lbs 2ozs and was almost 20 inches long! She had her first checkup this Tuesday and I'm thrilled to report she has already gained 3ozs and grown almost an inch.

You may be thinking "Ireese", what kind of middle name is that? Well.....Dave and I like to pass along family names and since he got to pass along a family name with Kyan Preston, it was my turn. I could never choose between my two favorite ladies my Oma -Therese and my Mom-Irene. So I thought why not combine them into Ireese and it fit!
