It’s hard to believe that as of today it has already been a full week since little Annabel was born. Where did all the time go?! Just kidding. It has ONLY been a week. But it did go by fast.
One important thing Annie did this week was go to Dr. Looove’s office for her first well baby visit. Everyone there was really excited to see Annie, and they all made a big fuss over her which was awesome. Annie, for her part, did a lot of charming by opening her eyes and flashing a few gas induced smiles. Later, in the exam room, she impressed everyone even more by hardly crying at all when she was weighed. She did, however, pee on the scale. That probably is a bigger faux pas, isn’t it? Oh well. No one seemed to mind. You can get away with a lot by being tiny and cute.
Dr. Looove soon entered and examined Annie. She was thrilled to hear how far gestationally Heather had carried Annabel. She gave the baby a thorough examination and proclaimed her perfect (but we already knew that). Dr. Looove then asked Heather and me how we were doing. Dr. Looove is our doctor, too, and the way she cares about our family makes us feel so special. We walked out of there happy but wistful. Maddie was a very beloved little patient at the office, and it was sad to be there without her. Still, it is nice to know that Annie will be taken care of by people who loved her big sister so much.
We then made our way over to Dr. Risky’s office. After going there for more than thirty appointments during our pregnancy with Annie, it was nice to finally walk through the doors with her in our arms. Dr. Risky, after checking out Annie and commenting on her chubby cheeks, removed the staples from Heather’s c-section. She also consulted with Dr. Blood, and they decided that Heather should continue to take her blood thinners for six more weeks as people with clotting disorders are more susceptible to clots after surgery. Heather isn’t exactly ecstatic about continuing the shots, but is okay with it as she can see the end of the road ahead, as they say.
Annie’s first week wouldn’t have been complete without her having her first bath at home! It was a family affair:
She didn’t like it all that much while it was happening, but from the look of this next photo I think it is safe to say she dug how it made her hair look all silky smooth:
I loved out first week together, baby. Here’s looking forward to week two and beyond…

She looks so mellow after that bath! Happy first-week birthday, Annie and family. Peeing on the scale is not the biggest faux pas you can make. Mine have all done worse…
.-= Kate @ UpsideBackwards´s last blog ..The worst holiday ever =-.
Yeah….like pooing on the table when the dr. takes the rectal temp. My firstborn did that.
………..and if you have a baby boy……..it’s a STREAM on the scale!!
My 3 grandsons ALL made streams on the scale with their first newborn checkup, lol!
My daughter, who is 5, laughs hysterically at the commercial with the little baby boy who pees the second his Daddy removes his diaper and proceeds to hit the ceiling and several other objects around the room. She also makes us rewind it.
My son laughs his head off when he pees on people! He has come THIS close to getting Mommy right in the mouth! Now that is a faux pas!!!
What a precious baby. Oh my… I just want to bite those little cheeks.
I am so happy to see that everyone is doing well.

Happy one-week anniversary! And Annie, please, please don’t lose that hair. Oh my gosh, she is gorgeous.
Heather and Mike,
Congratulations to you both! She is an adorable baby, and Maddie is looking down at her from heaven watching over her! I am an avid knitter and would like to to if I knit a special baby blanket for Annie would you mind?

Happy First Week!
She’s just absolutely beautiful.

Happy Week-iversary Spohr family! And as a nurse, know that peeing on the scale is NOT a faux pas. Peeing on the -nurse- however…..
I love that I’m a night owl, because I always read your posts first! Annie is beautiful. Oh my gosh, gorgeous! Dare I say, as cute, if not cuter than my girls
The bath is still torturous for my 8 month old, but she too likes to rock her silky smooth locks. Actually, they get a bit curly, which I adore. Holding out hope that it stays curly (coming from a girl w/ stick straight hair).
Anyway, can’t believe it has been a week! Happy 1-week-birthday!
I want to pee whenever I step on the scale, too, so I know how she feels
Happy first week, baby Annabel! You’re so beautiful!
.-= Noelle´s last blog ..Dude, seriously…there’s a sign on my front door that says NO SOLICITING and YOU’RE STILL TALKING THROUGH THE CLOSED DOOR after I point that out?! =-.
Ha! Ha! Noelle. I feel the same.
Annabel, I know how you feel. I loathe baths. I’d freak out if I couldn’t take a shower, but I can’t stand a bath. I bet you’ll like them more as you get older. … Thanks for keeping us updated, Mike. I hope Heather’s feeling ok. Having staples out sounds really bad to me. … Happy 1st week, guys! (((Hugs)))
p.s. Look how sympathetic Rigby looks.
What a sweetie.
She sure looks like dad!
My son is only 8 month old, but seeing your lovely Annie it makes my heart and loins ache for another!
Here’s to a lifetime of awesome weeks together!!
Yay, I’m so glad everything is going so well! One week already. Before you know it you’ll be investing in a big stick to keep all the boys away!

Happy 1 Week Birthday, beautiful baby Annabel. Congratulations Mama and Papa Spohr. I’ve so enjoyed reading today’s up-date about the pretty little Annie, Mike, your words have brought tears to eyes, just as Heather’s so often do. You are both such talented writers. And talented parents, the best. Your girls are so lucky. I hope you all have a peaceful, family week-end.
With lots of love from snowy Luxembourg

Wow – you got to wait a whole week before the first pedi appt? I had to take my babies in the day after they were released from the hospital – the doc wanted to make sure I didn’t have too much time to screw it all up.
I love that hair, little Annie.
Gorgeous!
.-= jen´s last blog ..on the menu Monday- Pizza Rolls =-.
I love her dark hair! I am just thrilled for you both! Have a wonderful weekend.
awwwww…………
She is a beauty! Love the extra little chin and the chubby thighs! You done good, Heather! Obviously every trial & tribulation of pregnancy that you answered with such courage has paid off. Enjoy your getting-to-know-you days!
Being cute and small does have it’s adavantages I’m sure — you wouldn’t see any of us getting away with peeing on the scale at the Dr’s office!
The bath picture with Rigby looking in is really cute!! Love all of the pics on Flickr too.
.-= Jill´s last blog ..Being sick has SOME advantages =-.
Happy First Week Annie! I don’t know how it’s possible but you just get cuter everyday! Glad to hear everyone is doing so well! I think there will be another baby boom across the nation in about 9 months after seeing your pictures Heather.
Yaye, so glad everything is good and healthy! Love the pictures. The bath picture is priceless and Annie looks absolutely happy and content and beautiful in the second.

Thanks Mike for the updates. Looking forward to Heather’s tale of the staples!

Pooping on the doctor. That’s how she could have topped peeing on the scale.
Ask me how I know.
And “Dr. Looooove” makes me giggle.
Congratulations again. I hope Heather continues to heal nicely. Enjoy your new daughter; she looks like a sweetheart.
.-= red pen mama´s last blog ..Classic =-.
The scale traumatizes me, too, Annie. No worries!
Happy one week on Earth. It’s a little messed up here, but it’s home.
So cute! I love that most babies first bath pictures are of them screaming their poor little heads off. Eventually they just start looking around going “hey, this isn’t so bad after all”.
Adorable.

Btw, Catie has been looking at your Flickr pics with me and asking about the baby, so she’s now singing a song she made up for Annabel. It’s basically just “Annie, Annie, Annie, Ann” to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Thought you’d appreciate that.

Maddie shines like the sun. It is so easy to see why Maddie’s beautiful spirit touched everyone: doctors, nurses and strangers alike….it is that beautiful spirit that brings us all to your site….
I am thrilled that you were sent beautiful, sweet Annie to light the way again…
I think of you everyday…I know this journey is not easy.
Peace, friends.
wow, a whole week. It does fly by. I’m so happy for you guys and glad to hear that Dr. Loooove’s staff loves Annie as much as they loved Maddie. She is clearly in good hands there.
That first bath is always a rough one isn’t it!! She clearly liked it once it was done.
She is so adorable. Love and hugs to all of you.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the update….say hi th Heather for me please.So happy to hear all went well for you all and the baby.
Like I said many times before, she is adorable ….so much so, it’s hard not to fall in love with! I am also very sad Maddie wasn’t there to see Dr. Loooove but, she, I’m sure was there in spirit!
Thanks for sharing your prescious little girl with us all….that is such a wonderful gift to give us all!
Blessings to all of you!
Your Friend,
Jenn
I love all that black hair! Glad to see that all the same people whose lives Maddie touched now get to know Annie.
Ssweet girl! I’m glad all is going so well!
She is absolutely beautiful! I just got back from a wonderful vacay with just me and my hubby and was soooo excited to see that your sweet Annie has arrived! I was telling my hubby about how gorgeous she was (as we all know some newborns aren’t exactly what I would call gorgeous
, and when I showed him her pictures, he said “wow…you were right! She really is gorgeous!” 
Your blog makes me laugh, smile, cry, and pray. Thank you for sharing your girls and your hearts so willingly with all of us. Happy beginning to week #2…and beyond!!!
Oh my Goodness, are those CURLS on top of her newborn head? I have never seen a newborn with curls! She is precious!

Happy One Week Birthday Sweet Annabel!!!! I was thinking of you last night! I can’t get “Here Comes the Sun” out of my head…and that’s just fine!;)
Happy One Week Birthday, Annie! You are soooooo beautiful.
Happy first week Annie (and Spohrs!). She’s too cute and adorable for words… those pics are the highlight of my day. Makes me want another one so badly!!!!!! love and hugs from NJ!
I know unsolicited advice is obnoxious, but try the Tummy Tub, she may like it better (since it’s supposed to make them feel like when they were in mommy’s belly.) I’ve used it with both my kids and they both loved it, never cried during bath.
Staples and blood thinning injections are for the birds. At least after 6 weeks they remain just a nasty memory… Wishing you a quick recovery!
Also, she’s adorable. Obviously.
I’ve never posted here before but have been watching your story closely, praying that darling Annabel would be born healthy and strong. I’ve also cried many tears as I’ve read the story of your sweet Maddie. (I, too, have a daughter who was born at 28 weeks gestation. She just turned a year old.)
I wanted you to know that I saw the March for Babies badge on your blog page and decided to start a team that will walk here in Illinois. We want to do make a difference and in a small way, I hope this honors Maddie’s legacy.
I live in Illinois and would love to join your group. feel free to email me at ebjsfeldman@sbcglobal.net
ALways,

.-= Kristie McNealy´s last blog ..Disney Live and Monster Jam Coming to Denver! =-.
Next time, I think she should poo on the scale for good measure. Because that is how *I* feel when I have to get weighed.
Actually, if I could throw the poo around the room, it would be more like how I feel. But, you know.

I’ve just come home from a month’s holiday to find your lovely wee lass has arrived! Congratulations to you both & welcome to Annabel. x
Happy first week to Annie! I am glad she is here to share her big sister’s light.
Mike and Heather – you should write a book about your journey with Maddie. I for sure would buy it! You are both such talented writers, I love reading this blog, and pop over now and then to Mike’s blog.
Annie is so stunning, I just love her! Maddie is the absolute BEST guardian angel! I hope the Spohr family has a wonderful, peaceful weekend.
What a relief to hear that everything is ok! Glad to hear she is healthy and perfect! She is just beautiful. Sorry to hear about still taking the blood thinners though, but yes, the end is in site!

I know you are missing Maddie, and I pray that the joy of little Annie will help with your saddness….she is a beautfiul baby….and she is so special that you have her right now – when you need her the most! love to you Heather, Mike, Annie & Rigby!
I cannot get over how much she looks like Mike! She is beautiful. I am so happy for you guys!!
First of all, GO YOU at braving the staples!!
Secondly, she IS quite perfect. I think I might ovulate just looking at her little perfect face and hands and over-all adorableness.

I know you hate the shots my friend, but my mom’s good friend passed away in November from a blood clot in the lung. She was prone to them and the doctors took her off her coumadin, but didn’t keep her on baby asprin or anything. I was ask Dr. Blood and Dr. Risky if after the 6 weeks are up you should take an 81mg asprin every day.
Annie is so incredibly cute. I’m glad she and puppy are getting along! Bath time will be fun when she’s old enough to play in the tub with toys!
She is just perfect and precious! Love how cute she looks even when she is SO not loving the bath! Adorable!!
Love and hugs to you all!
ps. So glad that those yucky staples are outta there! Hope they weren’t too bad, Heather!
I cannot get over how beautiful your daughter is!

Perfect family bathtime photo. Rigby is determined not to miss out on the fun!
She’s gorgeous, but then you already know that. I also had to do heparin throughout my pregnancies (2) and had to continue the shots for 6 weeks following, but you already know it’s all worth it.
wow…just wow. i saw the post on annie’s birthday, but i’ve been so busy i didn’t catch up with all of the other new baby posts until today. i am beyond thrilled for the 3 of you! i have been keeping heather in my thoughts and wishing her a healthy delivery…so so glad to know everything went well and that you were all present for the birth.
annie is beautiful! you are such lucky parents. and she is one lucky kid. <3
I CANNOT believe that Annie is already a week old. Wow. Its crazy how she was just inside Heather’s belly and now she really and truly is finally here. You two must be ECSTATIC!
And “baby’s first bath at home”: Awww, how cute! ;o) I’m glad everything went well at her check-up.
Annabel is beautiful! Enjoy every minute! So glad everything’s going well with both Heather and Annabel. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Annabel is adorable. Congratulations!!!
Happy 1 week in the world, Annabel!
I can practically smell her sweet head from here (I hope that doesn’t make me sound creepy!) She’s lovely, and I’m so glad that you have Dr. Loooove in your life. It’s bittersweet, to be sure, but so good to know you are all in the care of someone that cares about your family from such a holistic perspective.
I sound like an idiot. But I’m sure you know what I mean!

So my mom just informed me that not only did I pee on the scale as a baby, I also peed on the doctor.
However, i think I have turned out pretty okay and haven’t peed on anyone in years…unless you count that time that I was sitting on my boyfriend’s lap and was laughing really hard and might have accidentally peed. Just a little bit.

.-= Heather´s last blog ..Not me Monday… =-.
You’d pee too if you sat naked on a cold scale, LOL. She’s precious (although looking perhaps a touch jaundiced?).
My kids weren’t fond of the little tubs for awhile. Having a bath with Daddy in the real tub (so they could ‘resubmerged’) always made them feel better. Some babies really like those tall, skinny tubs, popular in Europe I think. A shower sling was a lifesaver with my third baby—I had more showers in the first 9 months with that baby than I had with the first two babies combined, LOL. Whenever I hear a mom say she hasn’t been able to shower because of baby, I always suggest a shower sling.
Oh, my kids are reminding me of how babe #3 pooped big time while waiting for the doctor and got it all over her clothes and I hadn’t brought spares, LOL!

I haven’t been on your site since I was about 5 months pregnant. This may be selfish but it was a little too much for me to read about Maddie when I was pregnant with my own daughter. But I continued to pray for you both!
It’s been 3 months since we had Jocelyn and we just got home from being in the hospital (CHOC) with her for a week. She had a viral infections which settled into her lungs. Then she got a fun bladder infection that kept us there longer. It’s been a total rollar coaster.
Anyways, I kept thinking of you guys (is that weird? LOL) and wanted to see if you had the baby yet! I was so excited to see the event went so well! I had been praying for you and your family!
So happy for your family of 4! Oh wait, 5 with Rigby!
The Davis Family!
I read but rarely comment, but I just wanted to say I am so very happy for you guys. I look forward to seeing more of little Annie.

She is sooooooooooooo beautiful! congratulations!
aaaawww she was all cold and wet mama! lol I’ve always found it strange that newborns don’t like being in the bath. You’d think it would be more of a home away from home for them.
