Elizabeth Renee was born at 3:29 this morning. She was about 4 weeks early because of some risks to Mom so we had to induce before the little bun was done baking.
She's just under 5 pounds (4 pounds, 15.2 ounces to be exact) and is 17 1/4" long.
Little Ellie has the appetite of a horse though so she should catch up in weight very quickly.
Mom, Baby & Dad are all doing well, but in dire need of some rest after a 36 hour sleepless stay in the hospital before, during, and after delivery.
It really is an experience that you can't explain without having done it. Just about any time I think about her or look at the pictures my eyes well up with joy.
Everyone thinks their baby is cute...but this little peanut will melt even the coldest heart.
An hour out of the womb and already hamming it up
Snuggle time with Mom.
The second one really puts her size to scale.
Thank you for the thoughts and support of everyone I've talked to over the last 9 months and beyond.
Signed,
One humbled new Dad.
