Introducing Eleanor Ann

We are happy to announce the arrival of our new bundle of joy, Eleanor Ann. Ellie decided to enter the world 11 days ahead of her due date, on Friday, November 13th at 1:58 in the afternoon! It is a good thing she did, as she weighed in at 8 pounds 15.4 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. As expected, she arrived with lots of black hair (just like her Mom did when she was born).

Day One:












Due to Mom developing a fever during birth, both Mom and Baby were put on antibiotics during the hospital stay. Unfortunately for Ellie (and Mom and Dad), that meant having to stay in the Special Care Unit and only getting to visit Mom's room for feedings. However, she is doing great with no other issues, and loves to come and feed. We cannot believe how in love we are with our new little baby girl- more than words can even describe! Below are a few pictures from Ellie's first two days in this world. She is already a Hawks fan, even if they didn't win when she made a special point to delay a feeding so she could listen to the game with Mom and Dad
