She's Here!!



Ellie Belle Jones
Born 9:15 am
7 lbs 2 oz
21 1/2 inches
The big day has finally arrived!!! Eric and I came into Labor and Delivery last night because I wasn't feeling the baby moving as much and as soon as we got settled, she started moving a ton. So, I was sure we would be going home, but to my surprise my contractions were every 1 1/2 minutes so they decided to keep me. Hooray!!!



We came into the hospital at 11:00, well my body dilated from a 6 to a 10 rather quickly and after 5 minutes of pushing she came out. Screaming and all! It was glorious to hear! She has been so good so far. She just sleeps, doesn't eat much yet and is so cute.




Ryan has some adjusting to do. He was not impressed with Ellie!! He absolutely freaked out when Eric was holding her. These next few weeks will be very interesting.

She is so pretty Ali! Yay! I'm so glad she's here. Too bad we won't be able to see her for a while. Ellie and Ryan look alike in the picture of her on the weighing table and Ryan screaming just below that. So funny. Get some rest! XOXO

So Nikki keeps looking at baby Ellie saying, "she's poopy, it's poop". I just hope she doesn't try to rip the umbilical chord off our new little one! I will have to keep a close eye on that.
