For several weeks, we've been anticipating the arrival of our first niece on the Mitchel side, Anika (pronounced on-ick-a). We finally got a call Friday morning saying that they were heading to the hospital for my sister-in-law to be induced! Royce and I had intentionally kept our weekend plans flexible in order to head up to Dallas if she arrived. We finished the work day and decided not to leave until after Pax ate dinner, had a bath, etc... hoping he would sleep on the way up there and be out for the night (he ended up sleeping in the car, but was WIDE AWAKE when we got the hospital).
We didn't think we'd make it to the hospital in time for her arrival, but that little girl was determined to stay put until we got there. ;) She arrived around 9:30 that evening and was sent to NICU for fluid on her lungs and rapid breathing (same reason Pax was sent to NICU after his birth- weird). She's still in NICU due to antibiotics, but will get to join her mommy and daddy at home by the upcoming weekend.
Hanging out with Aunt Lauren in the waiting room... those little eyes were SO heavy but he couldn't go back to sleep with all of the action going on around him!
Sweet girl... look at all of that hair!
Holidays will be extra fun with these two littles roaming about. I think they'll be great buddies.
