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!

In one of your pictures it looks like Ellie has teeth already, but seeing how young she still is I don't think so. She just looks a lot older than Calvin in these pictures. I think it is because of the hair. She is so cute!

So Cute! Can't believe the last time we saw you guys she wasn't even born yet. Just wondering...could you give me the name of the book you were using to teach Katie? Looking for some good resources to help Addi.

okay, I can't believe I haven't commented on this post! I love little Ellie!! What a dolly she is! I bet she's even so much older now! CRAZYYYY!

Very very cute.
We can't wait to see that husband of yours this weekend! Aaron is SO pumped! I just wrote on Dani's wall that we need to figure out a time where we can all pitch in and rent a big vacation house for the week and bring ALL of our crazy families and party it up! You in? I am! :) One day, we'll do it and when we do it will be so fun.

Lots of love to you, sweet Tiffany!
