Ouch

The day after our sweet angle was born, our other angle got ran over by a bike at school and had to get three stitches!!! The hospital has got to know us pretty well the last month!

He was a tough guy, he didn't even cry!

Happy Birth Day

Everything went beautifully.

Beautifully, happily, wonderfully normal and uneventful.
What a blessing!
My final delivery room performance.
I couldn't believe I was doing all this again.
And now I can't believe it's all over!

I checked in to Labor & Delivery at about 8 in the morning to be induced, with all the previous events that have happened in my life.... (my broken ankle) I was ready to have this beautiful baby.

Then waited awhile for IV fluids to go in & epidural to be put in, then pitocin to be dripped in......
Meanwhile, my cheering section, Regan made himself comfortable in the chair in my room, doing a little work.

I don't think there's ever a moment in life that tops this one right here.
Holding your baby for the first time.





My beautiful baby girl.

So precious. So perfect. So looks just like her brothers & sister did!

I was instantly, absolutely in love with that little face.

Little Ellie Grace was born just before 5 PM, on February 23rd.

She weighed 7 pounds and 11 ounces. The same as her big sister!

And she measured only 19 inches long.

Her cheeks are so kissable and yummy!

Later that night Regan's Mom and Dad brought the kids in to meet there new little sister!

They absolutely loved her!



Welcome, little Ellie, to our family.

We're so excited you're finally here.
