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.
We’re soaking in every beautiful inch of her.

Laura says:
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!!!!))

You may already have thought of or arranged for birth announcements, but if not, I would love the honour of providing you with some (I am a photographer and graphic artist on the side). As I am in Vancouver Canada and well, your down there, I would of course use Heathers beautiful photos. Of course this would be free of charge. Consider it a gift to thank you for sharing your precious family moments with your adoring fans.
If you are at all interested, let me know. I can send you samples of my work to help you decide, as I know not everyones tastes are the same!
With love

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,

It must be incredible for the two of you to be able to hold her-no oxygen, no cords, no monitors, nothing. Just Annabel.
We have all been praying for her to come to this world healthy. The world is a brighter place for so many of us now that she is here safe and sound. I think the entire interweb community breathed a sigh of relief when she arrived.

I am moved to tears! I can hardly write through the blurry tears that are falling. She has to be the most beautiful full term baby I have ever seen. I wish you a life long happiness with your new daughter. I am positive Maddie is beaming from above at the love you feel for your sweet Annie!
Kaylyn says:
Congratulations! She is such a precious little girl, and so beautiful!! You did a great job.
I am in love with the picture of Heather’s hand cradling Annie’s head with Maddie’s symbol on her wrist. It’s precious.
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.
Good luck to you both on the wonderful journey that you have ahead of you!! I don’t know you, but I feel like we are old friends. I can’t wait to see what your future holds.
Sara GC in the FL says:
