All Her Sweetness

by Heather on January 23, 2010

in the amazing Annabel

Heather was so anxious to be able to move, partly because she wanted to start healing, but mostly because she was so excited to take pictures of Annie. It took a while for her to really be up and moving (I’ll write the birth story soon, because it’s a doozy), but once she was able she got some amazing photos of our amazing Annabel.

OK, so by this point in the history of the Internet, it should no longer be odd that I feel so strongly about this baby of a couple I’ve never actually met. But…it is. I let out a huge “Ohhhhhh!!!!” at that first picture. She’s precious and perfect and I wish you every happiness in the world. (In the 4th one down, she’s totally Mike’s mini-me!)

Just so so so happy for this newest addition to your family.

Oh my GOODNESS. Oh, you guys… Annabel is just as gorgeous as gorgeous can be.

How will you ever sleep when there are baby toes that need kissing? How will you ever get anything done when her little neck needs nuzzling? Right now I’m thinking I’ll have to move that spring time trip to LA up to TOMORROW. Just kidding :) Sorta.

She is absolutely, positively perfect! Enjoy every moment!

I am elated for you all of you, especially her big sister, who must be watching, and smiling, from above. Felicitations to you and your little legacy. :) ITB.

if little annie got a kiss from every person on the internet that has been anxiously awaiting her arrival and have spent the last 24 hours being so excited for her family she’d be potty trained before the kisses stopped coming.

congratulations to you both. she is absolutely beautiful, and as someone waaaay above me up there said so well…the smiles on your faces that are so overdue. i am constantly surprised how often i think of you, mike, little annie, and maddie too. so happy for all of you.

I just keep getting the chills for you all! What a beautiful miracle you created!

I am going to risk making myself sound like a complete lunatic here, but I think that there is something extra special about Annabel’s birthday! I know someone probably already pointed this out (I can’t read through all of your thrilled readers’ 10,000 comments ;) ), but I think it is so amazing that her birthday is a palindrome~ 01/22/10. If I’m not mistaken, there are only a few years each century in which that is possible, and within those years, only a few days! Annabel is special for a million reasons, and that is just one more!!! :)

That sweet little angel’s name made me cry my eyes out when I first read it! Annabel is such a gorgeous name- it is classic, beautiful, timeless and just perfect for your little angel!! The Edgar Allan Poe poem, the dream that you had about Baby girl A_____ Spohr, the fact that Annabel means “grace and beauty”, it is all just so wonderful and fitting!

Oh and don’t even get me started on that middle name! Violet is just so perfect and sweet nd amazingly touching! It means “little purple flower” and that is exactly what she is- a beautiful little delicate flower!! I also love, love, love that it is a way to honor Annabel’s big sister, but in a way that is all her own. You guys seriously could not have picked a more spectacular name for that beautiful girl.

Ok, back to me being crazy- I also noticed that Annabel’s guardian angel Maddie’s birthday was so unique as well- 11/11/07. They just seem to go together- both have two 1′s, 22 is double 11, etc. etc. I know, I know, I am a weirdo- I just have always noticed patterns and such with numbers and I think both of your baby’s birthdays mean something.

I am just going to go ahead and believe that Maddie picked this extraordinary birthday for her amazing little sister- so that it could be even more special, and also so they could share a little something more. I just know that Maddie sent you that little blessing, and I have a feeling that you could feel her in the room with you as Annabel made her debut. I imagine Maddie Moo was watching over and protecting her precious baby sister and wonderful Mommy, both of whom she loves so much.

I couldn’t be happier for all of you, Spohrs and Buchanans!! Heather, it is so evident in your writing, photos and videos what simply incredible parents you both are, so it is no wonder both of your sweet daughters chose you as their Mommy!

((Hugs and Congratulations to all!!!!))

How frickin’ cute is she? In that 4th photo… she’s all Mike! I love the one where you see the Maddie tattoo contrasted beautifully against Annabel (Annie!). Mike and Heather… the looks on your faces just speak volumes. Little Annie is just what you (and your families) need. I know it won’t make the loss of Maddie any less… but I hope that Annie goes a great way toward healing your hearts. And from the looks of it… she is. Maddie is so lucky to have such a beautiful little sister… and Annie is wonderful to have Maddie as a big sister. So much love and hugs and happiness from NJ today!

I was at the Alt Design Summit sitting in the bar with lots of attendees when Laurie Smithwick, who had just seen a tweet, gave a big shout out to you and the birth of little Annie. The whole area erupted in applause and joy! In that moment, my heart did little leaps for the wonderful thing that is social media, which allows us to take part individually and collectively in such life-altering events as birth and death.

Thanks for letting us experience this joy with you and your family.

Most importantly, congratulations on Annabell—her beauty (look at that hair!), her health, her entrance to this world.

Can’t wait to watch her grow!

Also, sending you “recover well” wishes!

xoxoxo,

I just know that Maddie would’ve been more in love with her than anyone else. My heart is torn between emotions of elation and sorrow for your sweet family right now. It is such a wonderful joy that you have your sweet little Annie here, but my heart is broken that she will never know Maddie. I am certain that they would’ve been partners in crime, and the best of friends.

I can’t stop coming back to look at your baby girl one more time! She is just precious!

My 13 month old son is in love, by the way! He loves looking at the “ba-ba” (I’m thinking that means baby, although that also means bottle, so who knows! ;) ) and every time we get to the yawning photo he opens his mouth very wide and growls! He and I agree that your little lion cub is one of the most gorgeous babies we have ever seen! You two sure make amazing little girls!

Love and congratulations on the arrival of Annabel Violet! What a blessing!
