2 week check up

Elliott had her 2 week old check-up yesterday. She weighed 8lbs 14oz and was 21.5 inches long!! Can't believe how fast she is growing!! This girl does love to eat. She totally gets it from me!!haha

2 weeks old

Our little girl is 2 weeks old today! She is so sweet and we are having so much fun with her! We are enjoying our little family. God has blessed us with two beautiful and sweet children. We are so happy!

First day of K-4!!

Today was Connor's first day of school! He has never been to preschool before, so we didn't know what to expect! He was so excited this morning when I woke him up. He jumped into his clothes and ate a little breakfast, and was ready to go! Daddy was able to go with us. Will stayed in the car with Elliott and I took my big boy into his classroom. He jumped right in with the other kids, gave me a kiss goodbye and gave me a look of....ok mom, you can leave now. I knew he would be fine, it was me who was having a hard time letting go!! I made it all the way out to the car and then I felt my lip poke out and tears filled my eyes. I thought I was safe from anyone seeing me, but then I looked up and saw my great friend Lee standing there talking to Will!! SO busted. But of course she knew the deal, and made me feel better! I love that he is going to the same school I did. And there are even a couple of kids in his class that belong to my friends! We are going to have a great year and he is ready to go back for more tomorrow!!

Growing

Our little girl is growing! She LOVES to eat and definitely lets us know when it's time! That is pretty much the only time she cries. She sleeps most of the time...for now. Connor is getting adjusted to everything. It has to be a lot for him to take in, having a new baby in the house! It certainly is for us. I am proud of him. He loves to sing to Elliott and kiss her and hold her. He is such a great big brother. I need to get some new pics on here soon!

Mary Elliott

We had such a great day yesterday! After the epidural of course! I only had to push like 3 times and she was here! SO different than last time! We still can't believe she is here. Elliott is doing great and she is really getting the hang of eating!! We hope to go home today around 3:00 or so. Here are a few pics of our exciting day!

She's here!

Our baby girl is here!! Beautiful Elliott arrived today at 2:40pm! She weighed 7lbs 8oz and is 19 inches long. She has lots of light brown hair for all of those bows we have for her. Connor is very excited about his little sister and held her for a "whole" 60 secs. I think he is a little nervous, but still very excited! We will try and post some pics later on tonight. Thanks for all of your thoughts, messages, and prayers!

Doctor visit

I had my weekly visit today and everything is still looking good. I am 3cm and getting a "tad" bit uncomfortable. I feel like a big fat whale and just turning over in the bed at night is the biggest ordeal ever!! Just ask Will, who by the way is too sweet and I don't deserve him! I might add that the hormones this time are WAY out of control. I think I was a little nicer last time. But anyway. If I don't have her before Monday, I am going to be induced at 7:00am. I won't be 39 weeks yet, but my doctor is on call that day and it just seemed to work out better. We'll see what happens!!
