She's here!!

Okay guys........Elli is here finally. She was born Dec. 20, 2002 at 3:33am. She was 8lb 6 oz and 20 in long. I don't have 2 hands to type this so the long version will have to wait. But I wanted to put up some pics for you guys to see. Here is our 1st family photo shoot. Take a look at my puffy eyes and face. After pushing for 2 hours, I thought my head was going to explode.

Here is her first bath at the hospital. She HATED it!! But check out her cone head in the back where she had the suction attached to her head to pull her out. It is all bruised back there and she SCREAMS when we touch it or bump it on accident. It's already gone down a bunch so it'll go away soon.

They took her out a few hours after birth to take her picture. They put a Christmas shirt and red bow on her. That bow sucked taking off.......they really plastered it on.

This was her on our way home from the hospital. I made the hat and it was a bit too big. She'll probably have a big head like me and she'll grow into it next week!!

We have been so tired since Elli arrived. Here's the both of us taking a little siesta on the couch.

She has been pretty alert this afternoon and making us laugh. It has been so much fun having her around for the past day and a half. What a fun little girl!!

Okay, hope you enjoyed the pictures. I'll have to write out the extended version of the birth and stuff.....if you guys want to know. Love you all!!
