How she arrived...

Layla Ruby Anderson came to us around 5:00 pm on July 9th. After being induced and chillin' in the hospital for about 5 hours...it was time to push. Sally pushed four times, through 2 contractions, for 10 min and she was here! Such a contrast to Maycee...apparently Layla was ready. Makes sense, she was a whopping 8lbs 11oz! It was fun to have family there to meet her right away and so fun to see how Maycee first reacted to her little sister. The first night in the hospital ended up being a little rough...Layla wasn't eating very well and threw up everything she did get down. They ended up having to run extra tests, including a blood draw. At around 2 am the nurse finally let us know that she had amniotic fluid in her stomach and they had to pump her stomach...so sad. She was a happier and better eating baby after so I guess it was worth it. The rest of our stay at the hospital was pretty much routine with lots of visitors and we headed home on Sunday July 11th to begin our life as a family of four! (sorry about all the pictures...)

Watching the "Belle" movie together

Notice the Angels booties...a must for all the Anderson babies when leaving the hospital. Maycee wore them as I am sure any other future babies will too!!

Ready for the ride...

Layla had a present waiting at home for Maycee...just to make sure she really won her over. Maycee loved it and loves her little sister too!!
