Amber and Greg, my niece and nephew-in-law, welcomed their second child into their family today.  Annabelle Leigh was born at 10:14 am CST.  She weighs 7 lbs. 2 oz. and is 18.5 in. long.  She’s exactly 18 months younger than her brother, Jared.

Belle is named after her great-great grandmother and her mom.  Her first name comes from my paternal grandmother, Annabelle Jackson.  And, her middle name comes from my niece’s middle name.

Amber and Belle are doing fine.  Greg called me in response to a text I sent them and I got to hear Belle sneeze over the phone.  It was really cute! :D Amber told me she came quickly as they were only at the hospital for three and a half hours before she was born. 8O Lucky for Amber! ;)

Congratulations, Amber and Greg! :D
