Making Her Appearance

After a couple of days of waiting, the newest member of the Hovannisian family made her appearance.  Ani (pronounced Ah-ni) Elizabeth Hovannisian was born tonight around 10:30pm, weighing 5 lbs, 1.5 oz and 18.5 inches long.  She's a healthy - just tiny - baby, and she has been extremely alert since her birth.  Whew!

This has been an exhausting 48 hours, but needless to say, Damon and I are overjoyed.  I cannot tell you the sense of relief both of felt as soon as we saw her.  I wasn't too surprised to see that she looked nearly identical to a newborn Alexa :)

I'm looking forward to Alexa meeting her sister tomorrow morning...something tells me she will be very excited to see her newest sibling!

    Connie, congrats to the whole family! When she gets older, I'd be happy to fill her (and Alexis) in on the high school exploits of her mom...... Klodes
