Thank You, Thank You, Thank You


Hi again!
This is a post that I have been meaning to write for the past several weeks but just hadn’t gotten around to it until now. Not only do we have our hands full with our sweet baby girl, as you all know, we have also been trying to deal with the loss of our dear friend, Anne Pressly. More on that in a moment.

I want to take this opportunity to offer some “thank you's“ First of all, I want to thank all of YOU! Our viewers have shown an outpouring of support and love to us as we welcome baby Sydney into our lives. You’ve commented on this blog, written letters, sent gifts, and most importantly… kept us in your thoughts and prayers. I can’t thank you all enough! We often refer to all of our viewers as part of our Channel 7 family… and that’s exactly what you all are! Thanks for all the well-wishes… and keep those prayers coming.

I’d also like to thank the nurses and staff at Baptist Hospital. You all are so great! Our labor and delivery nurse, Jessica, was so awesome! I am so glad that she was the one that was there when we came in. Thanks for everything! And to Luanne and all of our follow up care nurses… you all are great! We can’t thank you enough. You all made my labor and delivery experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Lastly, I’d like to thank Anne Pressly. Anne was such a bright spot in our newsroom. I want to thank her for her fun personality and her zest for life. I also want to thank her for her strong faith. She really is an inspiration to the rest of us. I can’t help but think of the cycle of life as our sweet Sydney was born just 48 hours before Anne was brutally attacked. I sure hope Sydney has some of the same positive attributes that Anne shared with us.

It’s been such a mix of emotions these past few weeks. My husband and I are experiencing some of the greatest joy with the birth of our first child. But at the same time, the loss of Anne has been devastating. The tears come often. The anger wells up too often. But I know that time heals all wounds. And with the support of friends and family and the strength of my own faith, we will somehow make it through this difficult time. I am so thankful to have baby Sydney here to always cheer me up. We really are so blessed.

Here are a few pictures. I’ll try to post pictures more often in the future!

Thanks again!!!

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK TO WORK. YOUR LITTLE GIRL IS DARLING. WE ALL MISSED YOU AND YES WE ALL MISS ANNE. MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY KATV CHANNEL 7 EMPLOYEE.

I love the Arkansas outfit and I used to have one of those monkey things (in the last picture) when I was a baby!

I just want you to know your baby is so gorgeous!!! I too had a wonderful delivery at baptist. Although my baby was born prematurely it was a wonderful feeling to be surrounded with so many doctors and nurses that had a certain zest about them to care! Baptist is a wonderful place to be in any situation. Anne is now watching over everyone and she's going to watch the horrible person who done this to her laern all about the justice system when you stand up for and with it! This man is a horrible person who GOD will handle on his own. I hope you and the entire KATV Family stay strong and continue to smile, Anne loved you guys and still does. She is still with us, her work is not done!!! She's smiling in Heaven at your beautiful new baby. I do hope she had the chance to see her. God bless you!

I Think you have a beautiful baby girl Christina and her name is matches her to the T make sure you post new pics of her frequent so that we can all see how much she is growing. I am a mother of 2 girls and we live in Hot Springs, AR. I was telling my friend Carol that you were pregnant before you announced it on TV. I don't know what it is but a Woman knows when another Woman is pregnant and now Heather is pregnant please give her my congrats. and take care of your little bundle of joy and always remember when one person goes another comes into your life for a reason. i have followed along with the story of Anne Pressly and I am so sorry she had to go the way she did and remember that he has coming something coming to him. so always put baby sydney in your arms and tell her everyday that you love her and protect her and that everybody love's her especially god up above. so please post new pics of her frequently so we can see how much she is growing ok.

Christina, Thanks for all the posts and sharing all this with your viewers. I am so happy for you and your family. Sydney is beautiful. We are looking forward to having you back on Channel 7 though. I know it must be hard to think of leaving that precious girl. We are moviing out of the state in January so I really hope you are back before then!! I also wanted to send my condolences to you all over the loss of Anne. What a horrible, senseless tragedy. Although, the only way I believe you can get through something like this is to know that God is in control and He does know the reason even though we may never understand it. May God Bless you and yours with a Wonderful Christmas and hopefully a better 2009. Enjoy Sydney's first Christmas.

Dennis
Baby and Mom look great. We miss you on the news each evening - hope you will be back soon. Latest posting 11/14 - need more news. I know how busy a baby can keep you. Just looking forward to having you back.

Sandra Sue Starnes
Dear Christina and family. I enjoy seeing you on TV and I glad everything went well during the delivery of your baby. You and the other people at Channel 7 mean much to the Community. I did not know Anne Pressly personally or had ever met her but she sure was a wonderful part of the Channel 7 family. See you again on TV. Sandra Starnes

Cynthia Lynn
God bless you all. Did Anne get to meet Sydney?

Deborah
Hoping for more pictures soon of your precious little Sydney. You also look so happy in your photo with Sydney, your husband, and the family dog. To have a child is such an incredible blessing from God... one that I know you take seriously. Please update us soon, as we feel that you are like family. Also, any idea when you might be returning to channel 7? We miss your presence but understand that this is a very special time. Also, I have thought about you during this tragedy with Anne. Please know thoughts are with you during this time of happiness and sadness. God Bless!

Alix Michel
Thank you so much for sharring with us those beautifull moments!! Sydney is an adorable baby!! Time flyes, it seems like her birth was yesterday!! You look great also!! In your last post, you mention your friend Ann, and let me tell you that when I heard about Ann being brutally attacked, I was shocked. I am still very shaken by her death, she was almost my age... Yes, time will heal wounds but I will keep her in my mind. Anyway, I wish you all the best for you and your family with Sydney. Does she sleep through the night yet? I just love the picture of her in her towel, she looks like my second daughter (18 months now!!). I look forward to seing you on TV again, even if Heather is great, we like you too. And, by the way, congratulations to Heather for a pregnancy!! It makes us feel like we are part of channel 7 when you share those great news with us... Thank you for being so "family proud"!! This is not the case with TVs from my country : France.

Teresa
She is a blessing for you, though I'm not sure what your dog is thinking. God Bless you all, and many happy memories.

Renee
She is soooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!! I love the picture of her in the robe. Hugs and prayers!!!

Hi, Christina. Babies are so precious and I know the happiness you are feeling is special. Sydney is so cute in the picture with your hubby and you. I do have to ask did you mean to only show her legs and feet in the other picture? I have a new great grandaughter who was born July 30 and her name is Christina Hazel Faith. Her daddy, my grandson will be home anyday now with the 39th and we are waiting with joy though I must admit impatiently. I pray for you and all of Channel 7 for the pain and grief of Anne's death. She was such a sweet person. She interviewed my grandson at a skateboard event and awed at the locket I showed her my husband (now deceased) had bought me with a certificate he had won at KATV. We ran into her several times when she was covering events we attended. KATV covered the sad news of my friend and her parents murders a couple of years ago so I do understand in a way I wish I didn't but it gives me the insight on contnuing to pray. On a happier note I passed you and your hubby as you were walking down the skybridge on your way in to have your little Sydney. I work as a RN there and think Baptist is special. We will be moving to Texas soon and I will miss working there. Praying for you, your family and KATV family.

Jessica
Thank you Christina for such a sweet post about all of us! You were a joy to take care of and I was honored to be a part of one of the happiest moments in your lives. Thank you for giving me that opportunity. I cannot believe how much baby Sydney has changed already. Such a beautiful baby girl. I've thought of you often since I saw you last and wondered how you were. Please know that you and the rest of Channel 7 are in our thoughts and prayers. Hope to see you soon! Take care and God Bless!

Jessica, RN

Sandy
Your letter made me cry. I do not know you personally but I can tell just by your smile and outlook on life that you are as beautiful inside and you are outside. The Anne Pressly story has toched us all. I am expecting my first grandchild and her name is Sydney also They picked out that name even beofre your Sydney was born. I pray thaat both Sydney's never have to experience what Anne did. This world has become so violent that it makes you says "Come quickly Lord Jesus" My thoguhts and prayers are with you and your family including the Channel 7 family. I hope that this man will plead guilty and do the most humane act he can for what he did and not make Anne's family go through the decriptions that will have to take place in a court room recounting what he did to Anne that night. Please let them know that we all stand with them. All I can say now is Anne rest in peace . Your death has touched many hearts and the piece of trash t hat did this to you will now pay!!

Jayme
Sydney is gorgeous!! Christina, you are such an inspiration and I am very proud of you! Thanks for all the nights of channel 7 and I can't wait for you to be back!

John Mogen
Hey Rudy! It's been forever since we've seen you! Let me know when you're headed home to SD. My life is great!

Dave Elswick
Christiia, Congratulations on the new addition she is very cute.After raising eight children of my own I can tell you it is the most awesome responsibility the Lord gives us. Enjoy the days of their youth they do not last long, savor each moment and let your child draw you and your husband closer together. Remember to make time for each other. Sometimes we forget to nuture our true loves.

Candy
You have a beautiful baby!! May God bless your new addition.

Paul Christus

DEBORAH PETTY ;

rosemary
you are such a beautiful family!!!!!!! We all love you Christina!!

Janie Rogers
What a precious baby girl you have. She is just beautiful. It seems rather ironic that Sydney was born so close to the time sweet Anne was so violently beaten. So much good coming out of such a horrible time. I feel like everyone at Channel 7 is part of my family and I look forward to seeing more pictures of the new 'member' of the family. Love to your little family. Janie

Alison
Hi Christina, I've been wondering when you were going to write. Sydney is precious. You look really good too, I might add. We have missed you. I often thought how you dealt with Anne since your baby was born so close to the attack. My husband and I think about Anne everyday and even wake up during the night thinking about her. I pray for you both! Enjoy motherhood!! It's awesome.

Noah's Daddy
Congratulations on the beautiful bundle of joy! My wife and I had our first baby back in May, and awesome baby boy named Noah. He has changed our lives forever, and for the better.

God Bless!

KT
Your baby is adorable, Christina! I love the photo with the sock monkey. Sooo precious! Congratulations.

kesha
These are nice pictures, I have a ilittle girl whose 15 months and I thank god first then AFC there in little rock for making it possible.

Froggy

Chelle
Oh, she is a cutie! Definitely a keeper! I thought about you during those terrible days following Anne's attack and death--about how emotional you must be! I understand those post-partum crying spells, and they come for no particular reason at all. How difficult this must be for you to deal with that and the loss of a dear friend. Nothing happens by mistake. I suppose God knew you would need something positive in your life to distract from the grief of losing Anne...and that something positive is that precious baby girl!!! Best of luck to you. Oh---and I'll tell you like everyone told me...hang on. The first month is the hardest!!!

Lou Ellen
Such a beautiful family with the dog tucked in the middle. Congratulations!

Karen
Christina and Family

Thank you for sharing your new little blessing with all of us! She is so precious! I know we all miss Anne Pressly. She was such a blessing to so many. We will miss her greatly. When my Dad died it took quite a long while to work through the grief and all that goes with that. In time I came to a point where I could remember all the things I learned from my Dad and the fun, silly, and important things too! It is painful to lose someone that we cared about so much, in time we will remember the good times, the silly times, the serious times we all had together. I neve met Anne Pressly but I am a Chrsitian and I know in time God will heal these wounds. Take care! God Bless you and your family and little Sydney too!

Deborah
Christina, Thanks so much for the update on your blog. Baby Sydney is just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing pictures and for writing from your heart. I have thought about thie happiness and sorrow that you must be experiencing at the very same time. I am still saddened and sickened by the death of Anne Pressly. For you to speak of your faith getting you through this is most admirable. Enjoy this very special time at home! God Bless.

Kyle Hearnsberger
Hi Mrs. Munoz, Kiddo is so beautiful. I have been very happy for your crew and yourself. Having never actually met ya in person, allow me to say it would be an honor to hopefully one day meet the Channel 7 crew with ya included. I've been a big fan all of my life, and at 24 I still am a huge fan. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of y'alls beloved Anne Pressly. I am sure though, that when you get back I am sure afew of your newscaster pals at KATV will tell you I have been giving you all big support ever since the passing of your friend Anne. (at least I've been trying to help give some of your friends at KATV friend support, because I know how you all feel. I have lost loved ones before that still devastate me to this day. I support in the fact that ever since Annes' death, I have e-mailed some of your pals at the station to tell them of my condolences, as you have my condolences also.). I just hope in time with God's help you will have the strength to be happy and move on with your life to do what you do best, and that is be a part of the Spirit of our great state of Arlansas. I live in a south Arkansas community called Thornton, but since my serious surgery in May, I hadn't been able to do much. I care for KATV and am still sorry for y'alls loss. I know it hurts, but with time I know God will help all of you to be ok in the fact that Anne is not suffering anymore. I have met afew people in person who work at KATV but it was a long time ago. Back to when Mr. Matt Mosler covered weather, he came to the church I used to attend and he came once when my church had like a revival deal, and I also met Mr. Jeff Wingfield when he used to cover sports, and I admit both Mr. Mosler and Mr. Wingfield are both neat people. Well, sorry this is long but extending my happiness at how CUTE ya new little baby is (adorable kiddo), but extending my friendship-related-condolences at the loss of Ms. Pressly. May the Lord bless and keep KATV at the tragic time of y'alls loss, and may the Lord help guide the L.R.P.D. in capturing the murderer of y'alls beloved Anne Pressly. I wasn't trying to open the wounds again by mentioning her, but I wanted to extend my condolences. I'm so sorry, y'all. God bless and you all have a friend in Thornton, Arkansas (close to Fordyce). A fan who considers KATV nice people, Kyle P.S. I cried when I saw the video clip on KATV.com of when Ms. Pamela Smith almost broke down at the announcement of Anne's death. To the ENTIRE KATV crew: it will be ok y'all. God will heal y'alls pain, but BIG TIME congratulations to the Munoz family, from the Hearnsberger family. In the picture, allow me to say I think that is also an adorable puppy too.

Sharon
Absolutely beautiful!
