Welcome Sydney Ann! Little Sydney Ann was born this morning at 812am and she weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds and 6 ounces. She is so cute and so sweet. Maddie was such a big girl. We got her up at 545am to go to the hospital so Mommy and Daddy could see her before surgery. This is a photo right before they took Melissa into the operating room. Melissa did great, she had a problem with low blood pressure so they had to give her drugs to offset that which in turn made her sick and kind of woozy. So she's pretty wiped out this afternoon, but hopefully that will pass soon and she can enjoy some time with little Sydney Ann. Okay, here were the names they had picked out and they didn't decide till about noon today on which one. The first name was Sydney Ann, and then there was Hayley Ann, Kara Ann or Lilly Ann. My Mom's name was Ann and Melissa was very close to her. My parents used to take Melissa on vacations with them when she was young. Anyway, I love the name Sydney Ann.
Maddie fell sound asleep while Mom was getting settled in her room, so we put her and Sydney side by side for a sister pose. Aren't they so sweet? Actually Sydney looks so much like Maddie did when she was born.
Papa is holding his new little granddaughter. She looks so sweet with that finger in her mouth. She looks so big to me, look at those chubby little cheeks!
Aunt Chrissa kept Maddie entertained while Mommy and Daddy were in surgery. Maddie had a ball playing with her and a new little friend named Zoe.
One more photo in Papa's arms!
I wonder if Maddie thinks Sydney Ann is a cat. She pets her like she does Grandma's kitty cat. LOL
Beautiful Sydney Ann!
Mommy and Sydney Ann.
Thanks for everyone's kind words and prayers. You guys are the best and I am so grateful to have such friends through blogging. Okay, I've been up since around 430am so I am going to try and get Maddie down for a little nap and I may take one with her. LOL

Congratulations Joan...and your entire family. Sydney Ann is adorable! What a big beautiful girl. She reminds me a bit of my Bree, who was 9 lbs 1-1/2 ounces and had a head full of black hair too. BTW, our four year old granddaughter is Sydney Anne, so you know I love that name.
Get some rest.

Oh Miz Joan!!! She's Beautiful!! I'm SO thrilled for you all...God's sweet little package of hope! Enjoy Sweetheart!!hughugs
What a cutie pie! Those cheeks are pretty darn impressive. lol She's a real beauty and that hair! Wow! She and Maddie will be great friends. Maybe not until their adulthood, but that would just be normal. :)
I had to laugh when I saw her name. I, of course, LOVE the name Sydney Ann. I won't ever forget it, that's for sure! You have a Maddie and I have a Maddy. You have a Sydney and I have a Sydney. I mean, yeah, so MY Sydney is a 5 pound chihuahua and obviously doesn't measure up to an actual grandbaby, but he's still a member of our family. lol
Great pictures - hope Melissa is feeling better already and that all of you have caught up on your rest!

Hi Joan - I hope you all are enjoying that sweet new baby!!
I like your new header - it looks great!
Take care and have a good evening- Kellan
Wow Joan, baby is just gorgeous. Congratulations to everyone, hope Mum & bubby are doing well. Can you tell us why they called her Sydney Ann? Wonderful name of course (it's where I live). Is it a family name? She looks just beautiful. Hope you caught up on some sleep.
Hugs, Coll :-}
Welcome Sydney Ann! Wow! More than 9 lbs! Wow! I wish her a speedy recovery from her C section. She and Maddie look so cute together. And look at those cute twins! Mom looks great too, and I couldn't agree with you less that you look old or in need of weight watchers. I think you look fabulous. And that name game looks fun. I am going to go and try it now.
Thanks for stopping by. I commented back at'cha. Here it is so you don't have to look for it on my blog:
joan ~ reward posted! And you're invited to come and enjoy it.
Oh yes! Love your new banner. Very nice!
Congratulations Joan and your brand new granddaughter. She's just beautiful and those chubby cheeks will get lots of kisses I'm sure.
