My little Ellie

Here's the newest addition...since I never told the story here is the short hand version.
started counting contractions at church sunday morning...held off until after midnight...went to the hospital was at 5 cm...got the epidural at 3:30 in the morning...it wore off after they turned me to find Ellie's heart beat....so I felt everything from about 5am on...except my left leg. (To all you women that choose to go without the pain medication I say WOW...I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy) They think that the tube moved and all of the medicine went straight to the one leg...broke my water at around 8:45...she came a little after 9 in the morning...doctor barely made it.

She was healthy and beautiful. 8 lbs 1oz and 21 inches long
at her 2 month appointment she was 11 lbs 14oz and 23 inches long. she doesn't seem like a newborn anymore.

Here's some pictures...especially for you Jody since you asked :)




OH WE LOVE HER!
