Anika’s BIRTH day

Filed Under: Uncategorized 2 Comments

Additional photos from Anika’s Birth Day! Nathan getting on his scrubs.
The safe arrival of Anika Iris Kathryn, getting all checked out by the nurse team. Daddy followed with the camera!

Two weeks early but she was ready to go and happy to arrive on her Canada Day birthday. My Canadian co-workers suggested famous Canadians to name our daughter after. But we agreed upon on Anika (pronounced Ahnika)…it has Scandinavian heritage combined with Iris who is a precious aunt to us and then we stayed with the double middle name that our other children have and added Kathryn which Nathan said is “after her mommy” and I think it sounds lovely for our precious baby girl.

A rare rare photo of what I call “Katie in the raw”. It was a moment though that I want to cherish forever, sweet Anika right next me as I was in recovery. No make up, no body lotion, no jewelry and there was no eating or drinking. I was quite excited for jello last night. And even more excited when I got moved up early to “soft foods” this morning = omelet and pancakes!

Holding up her head at 12 hours old…maybe saying something like “really can you turn off the camera now and give me some peace?” She has such a sweet demeanor. Anika slept and ate like a champ last night.

Nathan’s parents Gma Carol and Gpa Eldon came for their first meeting of Anika last evening. In case you are wondering where the dark hair comes from…this photo definitely shows you!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
