Announcing our little lady!

It's been a heck of a week and a half, so apologies for the tardiness of this post! Here are some pictures for you.

39 weeks - December 23, 2016 - My last regular weekly belly shot!

December 27, 2016, 5:00 a.m. - The very last belly shot before heading to the hospital for baby day!

December 27, 2016, 8:00 a.m. - Welcome to the world, Eleanor Ann! A cute, chubby-cheeked GIRL, born 8lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. Our beautiful sweetheart.

December 27, late morning - Mama gets back from recovery and gets her first real snuggles with Eleanor

December 27, evening - Sam gets to hang out with his baby sister. He is immediately smitten.

Enjoy the pictures for now. There's a lot more to the story! Still to come are a write-up of Eleanor's birth story (boring for her, a little more exciting for me), and then an account of the last couple days, which have found us up at Mayo Clinic with a sick baby needing emergency surgery at a tender nine days old. We're still going to be in the hospital a couple days, so I will work on getting some updates posted here, but for now, just know that Eleanor is stable and recovering, and we are all holding steady. :)
