New baby! // Favorite Things

I'm thrilled to share that baby Ellie was born on Friday, November 7. She was 7lbs, 7 oz and 21.5''.  I can't believe that she is a week old! We are thrilled that she is healthy, happy, mostly calm, snuggly, extraordinary beloved, and of course, the cutest baby you have ever seen.  :) I'm also glad the delivery is behind us and I am healing pretty well.

My big kids couldn't be happier. I feel almost embarrassed at how much we all just adore her, but then I just think how lucky we all are, how grateful we are she is here, and how happy we ALL are that I'm no longer pregnant and sick. In fact, everyone's biggest complaint seems to be that they don't get enough time to hold Ellie. Its definitely a good problem to have.

Thanks for all of your well wishes, in the past and with her birth. I'm not sure if its relief, or hormones, or teetering on the brink of exhaustion, but I feel like our joy is complete.  I don't know if I have ever felt that way before, so I'm just going to sit back and savor it.

Happy weekend, friends.
