She is here...

Sorry it took so long, but no internet at the hospital.

I ended up needing pitocin to start labor around 1:30p. Didn't like that at all. Hurt like hell. Got epidural around 4:00p and pushed baby out at 5:44pm. Miss Eleanor Elizabeth weighed 7lbs 12 oz and was 20 inches long.
All and all, perfect in every way. As you can see...






God is good.

Oh Katie and Eleanor how beautiful you both are. I am sure your Grandmother is in awe at you and her namesake. Will you call her Ellie for short? Your photographer was amazing, Is it another Jellybean Orignal? She needs a raise, She captured an amazing moment between you two.
