Our much anticipated little girl Ellie finally arrived. She seemed content to stay in utero for ever, so unfortunately she was over due to come meet the world and had to be induced. I was very nervous about being induced since it seemed so unnatural, but Ellie arrived in perfect condition.
She was very mad when she was born, but everyone knew how healthy she was because of how well and long she was screaming! After about 20 minutes she finally calmed down. By the time she got her first bath, it only made her mad again. Thankfully she knows her mama, and calmed down as soon as she was being held.
When Ellie was about 5 hours old, we brought Luke and Clara to the hospital to meet their new little sister. It was magical! They were smitten with her the minute they walked into the room.
I remember sitting in the hospital holding my precious new baby feeling over whelmed with gratitude and appreciation for such a brand new miracle.
Luke and Clara are generally crazy kids, so teaching them to be soft and gentle with a new baby was quite the trick! Ellie is loved by all for sure!
Ellie's official stats were:
7lbs. 10 oz.
18 in. long
Born at 10:56 am
July 13, 2015
Ellie was born with more hair than both of her siblings combined! She has a different look to her than Luke and Clara. Ellie seems to favor Gilbert a bit more. She certainly has his toes!
