Allisyn Carol Friedrich new arrival

Allisyn Carol Friedrich

I WAS BORN: Aug. 28, 2011, in St. Luke's hospital in Duluth.

MY PARENTS ARE: Chad and Andrea Friedrich of Superior.

MY SIBLINGS ARE: Tyler, 7, and Sydney, 5.

MY GRANDPARENTS ARE: Dick and Janette Nelson of Superior and Don and Bonnie Friedrich of Blanchardville, Wis.

MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: They had a boy's name picked out that also used their initials after their grandfathers. They figured they'd find a girl's name with the initials A.C. also. they loved Alli and my middle name is after Daddy's Aunt Carol.

PARENTS' WISH OR ADVICE: When people ask how you are Mom often replies "Amazing!" We hope you will always be amazing in everything you do in life. You've brought so much joy and happiness into our lives; I hope you'll continue to do that for the world to see!

SOMETHING SPECIAL: You were a surprise pregnancy, surprise arrival three weeks early and a surprisingly easy baby sleeping through the night at nine weeks! We also waited to find out if you were a boy or girl until delivery.
