Introducing...Elliana Joy











We are so excited to finally meet our BIG Elliana! Yes, after 2 days of labor and a c-section, 9.1 lb. Elliana was born!! She is healthy and of course the most adorable girl we have ever seen. God is sooo good! Can you believe this amazing miracle? No one told me how much I would love all of this!! I love being being a mom to her and Paul described her as a "piece of heaven". My parents met us here when we got home and I think we have to take turns holding her. Early this morning, though, I became short of breath and ended up back in the hospital with fluid on my lungs and heart. I am home and doing so much better. Elliana loves to sleep sleep sleep and I am sure looks forward to meeting each one of you!

I guess my first comment didn't publish. :(

We hope you are soon healed and doing everything you have been waiting and looking forward to with this little miracle.
