First Sunday at Church

Two Sundays ago was Ellie's first time at church. I couldn't believe how long it took to just get the two of us and her ready to go. I am so amazed that anyone with kids gets anywhere on time. We had a fun time dressing her up though. However, no one really saw her dressed up because she was asleep in her car seat with a blanket covering her the entire time. John and I were so exhausted by the effort of taking her there, that we came home and took a 2 hour nap!


Ellie' s expression in this picture is pretty cool.

Her tights and shoes were a little on the big side.

Taking her home

She looks so little in her car seat.

Her first day home.

Our first family picture

I feel bad that I covered her face up with my hand. I look pretty sleepy which is a total plug for epidurals. I slept and watched Enchanted while I was dilating from a 5 to a 10. We had to pause the movie to actually have the baby as the characters were trying to figure out that love's true kiss was the most powerful thing in the world to revive Jezelle. :) That movie will never seem the same.

Our precious little girl

Little Ellie was born a couple of weeks ago. She was 6 lbs 13 oz and 19.5 inches long. Her birth went smoothly, which we are all very grateful for. She is doing wonderful. She eats and sleeps well and is gaining weight. John and I both think we are going to have a chubby little baby. It is amazing to me how much we love her already.
