Lana Grace Flannery and a baby girl's grip on your heart







Much apologies for the delay in communication.




Lana Grace Flannery was born to Brian and Christa Flannery at 4:08 PM
on Thursday, June 22, four days before she was due. Mother and child
are healthy and doing well. We escaped Denver's Exempla Saint Joseph
Hospital around 5:00 PM on Saturday. Brian is taking some time off
of work. Since we've been home, we're getting better at changing
diapers and sleeping during the night.

I have attached pictures to make the ladies say "awww." The files
are smaller than the camera takes them but large enough to see (just
right for email). Further messages will follow. Send in your vote
for the cutest one. If she looks yellow, she's slightly jaundiced
but healthy (a nurse stopped by this morning to assure us so). If
she looks red, I left her out in the sun a little too long (smells
like lotion and barbecue).

It's incredible - she's growing so fast; she's getting so strong.
She's already lifting up her head - something she shouldn't be able
to do yet. She drove us home from the hospital - not sure she's
supposed to be doing that yet. She likes to look you in the eyes.
She kicks and wriggles constantly. We put her to sleep on her back
but she finds her way onto her belly, contrary to the advice of the
entire medical profession. She says she wants an eskimo for
Christmas.

-Brian and Christa Flannery
