Anne Heather Reifenberger Arrives

After much anticipation and excitement, Anne arrived Friday June 19th at 11:21am.

It was a dramatic morning as Jody's water broke quite suddenly at ~7am and dad was forced to navigate morning rush hour traffic in the pouring rain (an anxious father is never shy about using the horn). Anne was breach and was delivered via c-section within two hours of reaching the hospital.

Upon delivery no one was more surprised than the father upon discovering that Anne was a girl. Not many called it (roughly 90% polled thought it was a boy), but if you were one of the few who thought the Reifenbergers were having a girl serious kudos.

Mother and baby are doing well. For those of you who like to hold babies, you are in luck! Anne really likes to snuggle and cuddle with anyone who is willing to hold her. Mother and father are happy to take all who ask so please don't hesitate.

We were blessed to have Jody's friend Jennifer, the famous ER doctor from New York, catch a bus and make her own mad dash to Boston to visit the new arrival within hours of her delivery. Jen arrived around 9pm on June 19th after staying up all night working at the hospital, scrabbling to find someone to cover her next shift, and bribing a college student for their seat on the MegaBus. After meeting Anne, Jen returned with the tired father to 845 Concord Turnpike and helped cook a frozen pizza and clean many dirty dishes.
