Unto us a child IS born!
















By Gods grace Annya Maria Rothwell has alas come into the world as of 11/9/07 at 10:59 p.m. . She weighed in at 9 pounds 15 ounces(one big baby) and was approximately 20 in. long. Mom is doing well for haveing gone through 38 1/2 hours of labor, 3 1/2 of which she spent pushing(Yes...it was a Vaginal birth). Please pray for us as we all go through the recovery/adjustment process. Also please pray for Sasha and Annya as they will be trying to get alot of rest over the next week and half especially, and healing for Sasha's body as she is still very sore.

God bless - Tim R.

Your baby is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations and I wish you much joy in the coming special days. Grandma Rothwell is very much the happy, proud Grandma and had photos at homegroup tonight, but as I stumbled on your blog, via the Lookabills, I think it was, I see she is even more beautiful. I love the picture of her showing all that dark hair. Enjoy her, and remember to sleep when the baby sleeps! Congrats! The Crabtree's

Congrats! We are so excited for you guys! Praise God that baby and Mommy are healthy. :) We'll be praying that Sasha heals well and soon so she can be a great Mommy to Annya. What a cutie! She looks just like Sasha (in the pix).

Yay, pictures!! I was sitting in class today when I had the sudden urge to check your blog (bad me as I should have been paying full attention to the professor!). I was so excited to see pictures that I almost shrieked (well, not really, but you get the picture. hehe.) Anyways, Annya is absolutely precious. Wow, she really does have some dark hair! She is on my computer background and since I will be writing a paper for the next two days, I will see her often. I sent a few pictures to the girls who have been praying for you; I know they will love to see her.

I can't wait to get home to see you both and hold my sweet "niece" in my arms. :-)
