ELLIE IS HERE!!!





After 18 hours of labor, Eleanor Ashley made her appearance on December 30 at 9:42 pm.  She is so cute -- we just can't stop staring at her!  She weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long.  We are so proud of our little girl.  Right now I am doing well, but it has been a rough recovery process -- not to mention the overwhelming feeling of being a new parent.  I will update with more pictures when I have more time in between her frequent feedings.  Justin and I can't wait to introduce her to all of our friends!

She is so precious! Enjoy every minute, even the sleep deprived ones. And take lots of pictures! I will be praying for your family.
Melissa, Dave, Luke, Emma and Lily
P.S. Space your kids out - don't have 3 under 18 months or you will have no hair and no nails...take my word on it!

How exciting! Congratulations. I am so glad you posted pictures. You look great, Ashley! How fun that she arrived in 2007 (Troy would be thinking--Gret Tax break!HAHAH). Hope you all are doing well. Keep a journal of everything...even when you don't feel like it--you'll be so glad you did.
Much Love,
Brittany
