The Queen Has Arrived...

Name: Annika Nikole de Leon
Date: Monday, February 16, 2009 - President's Day
Time: 5:54am
Weight: 7lbs, 1 oz
Length: 20 inches
Head: 14 inches
Features: She's cuter than the cutest button in the universe! She has Boo's lips and eyelashes, Kevin's hairline and nose, & Ethan's eyes and chubby cheeks. :-)


We refer to Niki  as"The Queen" because she is very special and isn't like all the other princesses. :-) God created her to be just as rare as Ethan...1 out of 500,000 to be exact. Annika is FVII Deficient (Factor 7 Deficient) and will live a very unique lifestyle. She may have a "deficiency", but she will be treated like royalty ALL THE TIME.

The severity of her deficiency is almost identical to Ethan's decificency which means she must always be handled with care. I will share more details as the days move forward. In the meantime, I just wanted to share how ecstatic John and I are to finally meet our baby girl. She is very healthy, strong, and is here to stay. :-)

Let's all continue to rejoice her safe arrival into this world.
