10-4, good buddy!

 Anika Jo Nelson joined the world on Thursday evening at 8:17pm.
My labor was lovely (intense but short) - we went in early (about 2 hours before she was born) and had time to feel settled before she joined us.
We got "skin time" right away, and as soon as she landed on my belly, she wiggled up to feed - a good eater straight out of the shoot!
She weighed in at 7lbs, 11 oz and 19.5 lbs (right between the sizes of Adelaide and Miles).

From the start she has had long periods of alertness, open-eyed and aware. Adelaide and Miles so far are doing great. Miles frequently asks to "hold baby, hold baby" and Adelaide loves to be the helpful big sister - running for diapers and "giving taps" after baby eats.
Baby Anika is the most beautiful completion of our little family team that I could have imagined. We're a little bit overwhelmed, but mostly thrilled to treasure this last tiny addition.
