Anna Kate

Hey Folks,

As I eluded to on our last post we had a baby announcement coming.  My oldest daughter, Cheryl, and her husband Chad, delivered on the promise with Cheryl quite literally delivering a healthy 7 pound, 11 ounce, 22 1/4 inch baby girl.   Meet Anna Kate.  Born Wednesday morning, July 23rd at 6:40. She single handedly put me in the grandfather club - a membership I have not had the pleasure of until now.

All three are doing very well although a slight hitch presented itself; not real concerning though.  Anna's white blood count was a little high on the first check.  This indicated a possible infection or stress from the delivery - nearly 22 hours long - so she''ll have to stay a few extra days in the hospital for observation and antibiotics.  Mom will be discharged Friday but will stay in a spare hospital room with little Anna until they can take her home.

Congratulations to Cheryl and Chad.  We love you guys and know you'll make fantastic parents. We can't wait to take her on some adventures just like we did her Aunt Jenna a few weeks back but I think she'll be hanging out with Mom and Dad for a little while first.  Don't worry though, we'll get her initiated as a happy little camper soon enough.
