Introducing: Miss Ellie Reese Edelson!

Our baby girl has finally arrived and we couldn't be happier! We welcomed our sweet baby girl into the world on October 8, 2011, 5 days before her due date. She made her grand entrance at 8:12am weighing 6 lb 13.4 oz and was 19.5 inches long. She has the most beautiful head full of dark hair and my toes :).

The whole experience was surreal and emotional for the both of us. We had an incredible team of doctors and nurses that made everything go smoothly and were a huge source of information for us newbie parents. Dave was a terrific coach, or "drill seargent" as he was teasingly called. I'm so thankful to have him as my husband and Ellie's daddy.



Waiting for her arrival...wishing I could walk around.



The first moment we laid eyes on her we were absolutely in love. I've always heard moms talking about this level of love they never knew existed. And now I'm a part of that club! She's perfect in every way.

Car ride home!  Yay!!

Now we are at home and enjoying our Elle-bug. We find ourselves just staring at her and getting a kick out of her sweet sounds and funny faces that she makes. She has taken to breast feeding very well. After a big feeding she takes long naps which is a saving grace to mom :). We hope you enjoy these pictures of our girl. Beware: there will be a lot of these coming....we just can't stop taking pictures of her!

Heading out to run an errand.  She loves the car seat!
