Baby Girl

We are all doing well and surprisingly, semi-rested!

Pops posted the pic of the three of us last night, but to give her an official introduction:




Please meet our little baby girl, Ellena. She is the sweetest little thing. She doesn't cry, so much as whimper and so far is a pretty good eater and sleeper. In some ways, she looks like Evan, when he was a newborn. But I can also see my Grandma in her - it must be those cheeks! The stats: born July 26, 6:31 PM, a whopping 7 lbs. 8 oz. (a whole pound more than Evan!!) and 19.75 inches long.

Evan brought Grandma and Grandpa to visit us last night. He was so interested in his baby sister, he barely gave me a second look. After that, he started charming the nurses - what a guy! He had a hard time saying goodbye, but he may visit again today and we will hopefully be discharged later this afternoon.

Wish us luck!

She definitely resembles her big brother, but I see a little of Momma in her too. She is beautiful, congratulations!
