Alexiss Starr Faeth Anderson was born on Sept 21st at 7:59 PM. Four induction attempts over 5 days, 3 IVs, 2 epidurals, 3 attempts to see Resident Evil on hospital breaks, countless supportive doctors and nurses routing for us, one bout of jaundice, one week stay at the hospital and a C-section. Through it all she was strong and comfortable enough to give the doctor a run for his money. Her heart rate stayed strong and our faith stayed strong through the long ordeal and in the end we met eye to eye and beautiful face to face. She weighed 6 lbs 14 oz, 51 cm long.
The name Alexiss means to bring change with drastic outcomes, she overcomes adversary and is a confident woman with great storytelling ability. Starr is my grandmother's middle name, in her 90s this is her first (and maybe only) great grandchild. Faeth was added at the hospital, having faith became our mantra for our long hospital stay, we bought a plaque that read "worry ends where faith begins" and we kept saying "we have to have faith". The odd spelling is me putting a faery spin on it.
