Thursday night we checked in to the hospital. And the waiting began.
Yatta yatta yatta... and then today at 2:34 p.m. out popped Elli!
She is perfect! She weighs 7lbs. She is a quiet peaceful angel. She barely cried at birth. This world is cold and bright and shocking. But she took it like a champ.
She opened her eyes almost immediately and took it all in.
Micah was amazing!
He was my support. Last time we had moms and dads and grandmothers and siblings to help Micah carry the load. This time he played superman and did amazing! After a significant lack of sleep and many hours of running on adrenaline, this is what you look like. :)
Roy and Kristy brought Lydia to the hospital to see her new baby sister.
We received a package in the mail that they also brought to the hospital. Before Lydia met Elli we sat and opened the package together. It had a book and a card from her friend Caileigh from Georgia! How special! We couldn't have planned that better.
And then in came Elli. No longer in mommy's tummy.
I think she got it!
She was pretty excited. She couldn't wait to get her hands on Elli.
We are going to have to be on guard with our big sister helper around. She is ready to carry Elli around and care for her all by herself.
Dad steps in and lays down the law. We have to be gentle with our little Elli.
So sweet! My family!
The hospital has these little mini hospital gowns for the babies. They are so cute, so little.
Now Micah and Lydia are home resting. They will return to Elli and I in the morning. Elli is lying next to me asleep. Quiet and pleasant! Rest is what is next on the agenda.
