Hey baby Glenna, I love your name.
Does she need anything AKM?
Should we do some kind of late baby shower for her or something?
Now that we know its a girl, Im thinking pink everything.

CC – You must be very happy ! You’re going to be a wonderful big sister.
And Ann – Whew!!! 8 lb 11oz – That’s a lot of baby! Congrats and much love to you. Rest up !
Welcome to the world GG. You were very wise to arrive on the same day President Obama came to Alaska. May you be as wise and talented as he.
What a beautiful name.
Tantef I second that.
mazeltov! so, so bittersweet.
Welcome to the world, little one. It’s a lot of work, but there’s plenty of fun to be had out here, too!

Celtic Diva has a picture of Glenna! She is gorgeous.
Oh my, what a sweet little girl! Thx Irishgirl for the heads up, I went running to CD to get a peek. Glenna is absolutely beautiful.
Congratulations to Ann, CC, Vic and Rolly for the precious addition to your growing family.
Congratulations Ann, and welcome Glenna.
Glenna may you grow strong walking in the footsteps of your parents, as they have given you the heritage of greatness.
I lit a candle (thanks AKM for the site). I just feel like Segundo is beaming and watching over, even as he has been feeling all the labor contractions. He so loved his little daughter CC, he would be prouder than proud about his second little girl GG.
Congratulations Ann and CC and the entire Strongheart family!
Welcome to the world Glenna !!!!!
We have all been waiting for your arrival.
So glad everyone made it through safely and all are healthy and happy.
I am sure Segundo is beaming love and light down upon his family.

I am sure we will get more out, but right now they are posted on AB.
Sorry but Aa’nana Vic needs a tad more sleep before more computer time:-)
Good news. Congratulations to Ann; she is a brave and strong woman, considering her loss months ago. Hope baby soon sleeps in long intervals through the night and gives mom a much-needed rest.

Welcome to the world, dearest Glenna! And congrats to Ann and Vic and CC for getting through this!
Oh, Glenna, I also want to say I think your absolutely beautiful!
you’re
Gorgeous Glenna Gabriela! Went to Blue Oasis for the baby photo, it’s stunningly cute. Congratulations Ann, Vic, CC! Welcome, GG. Btw, I was hoping for a girl with the initials GG (since my kid sister is GG, too, and I’ve always loved being her big sister), and here she is! Welcome to the world, we love you already. Health and peace.
born on my birthday…which makes me 66 years older than her..
Oh, Ann! The most hearty congrats and best wishes to you, CC and your family!
But I do have a question — maybe it’s answered on AB (haven’t been there yet), but what does “Kegginacengaq” mean? Am sure there’s significance there …
AND it’ll be “CC” and “GG” — any chance she might be nicknamed “Gigi”?
Now you have a little Scorpio … she’ll be smart, deep, caring … and sometimes her insight will scare the heck out of you.
(She’s exactly 60 years, 12 days younger than me.)

Little Glenna ( or should we say BIG Glenna ) came into the World on quite a historical day for Alaska… the day the President arrived there… and so did She.
Down the road I am sure that she will get teased with stories that she/Glenna waited or planned her arrival to coincide with the Presidents visit. Because Ann was surely doing everything she could to help things along.
As soon as Ann gets some needed rest and is up to it and has a break from being Mom and starts speaking out again about the ‘ ongoing issues ‘ so important to her up there on the Anonymous Bloggers website I can’t think of a better guest for Shannyn to have on her new show.
AND… she MUST bring along Glenna as well for the photo op to share
( as well as her big sister CC)
Welcome Glenna !
An awesome new mudpup for the “family”
Rest well Ann, the easy part is over now.
{{{big hug}}}
Maybe Vic or AKPi can offer suggestions for needed items. From a posting Ann had done months ago regarding a shopping trip to another village, it was over $80 for a case of 144 disposable diapers. Those and wet wipes are probably something that could always be used. A quick look at Wal-Mart’s on-line site and a case (varying 100 – 150 or so depending on size) is $35. Such a big difference. Just a thought!
Warm congratulations for Glenna Gabriella’s safe debut into the world :>)
Well done, Ann!!!
what an ADORABLE baby… did you all see the pic on Blue Oasis? OMG. Priceless.
Passing the torch to you, little Glenna. Welcome to the flats! Want to make a mud pie?
@ 46 YBG…. She’s (mumble mumble forty something) and two days older than me!!! We Scorpios acre definitely a force. She’ll hold the torch brightly!
first, Not “aCRE”. Second, freaky that Moose pucky and I both mentioned torches at virtually the same time.
Ann, CC and GG (are we calling her GG?) –
I didn’t have an opportunity to leave a comment earlier – but let me know if you ever need a spot to land in Anchorage – seriously!
Love and all the best – WfAK
Congrats mom, big sis and new arrival. Good health to all!
Ripley…have you gone…ahem…rogue? Notice your name/link has changed…
GG… what a great nickname.
Hope all is well with baby and Ann.
Has Vic recovered yet?
Welcome to little Glenna and congratulations to Ann and CC! Glenna makes the previously dynamic duo now the terrific trio! Best wishes to you all!!!
Oh, she is so adorable. What a sweet little face. Welcome to the world, little one. And Ann, what a lovely name. Congratulations to Ann and CC.
