Here's the Baby

On Valentine's Day Mike and I went into the hospital at 6:00AM and out came our baby at 2:33PM. Isobel and Molly left for a snack and came back just in time for the pushing (a total of 2). If they would have been gone for another 5 minutes, they would have missed Ellie's big entrance! Mimi and Lynette came shortly after to greet their newest Granddaughter. Lynette's 3rd and my Mom's 18th! They got to get in on the guessing of Ellie's weight. Ian was the closest with 9 lbs. She was 9lbs. 2 oz. They measured her length at 20 1/2 inches at the hospital, but 5 days later at the Doctor's visit she measured at 22 in (I guess it's not exact). Isobel and Ian are very excited to have Eleanor here. They both are great helpers. Isobel can't hold her enough and Ian loves to put the diapers in the Diaper Champ (It is fun how the diapers go in the top, you slide the handle to the other side and magically the diaper is gone!). Thanks for all the loving wishes and help from everyone!
