Your birth did not go quite according to our birth plan, but the end result was still the same...a happy and healthy Ellie in our arms. And as Dr. Bowers put it "this was our first lesson in parenting...no matter how much you plan it will likely always turn out different than expected."
You are a week old as I type this but I am going to list my top five favorite things about your birth and you:
1. You look just like your daddy. The first thing Dr. Bowers said after your delivery was "you definitely belong to your daddy!" The most striking similarity is your cute little dimpled chin.
2. Fact. You pooped on my belly twice during our first skin to skin bonding session right after your delivery.
3. You were born with a full head of hair! You even have little tufts of hair growing from the backs of your ears! I love them and call you wolf girl for it ;)
4. The first time you made me cry was when you were on my belly right after birth and your daddy called out your name. You immediately recognized his voice and shot open your eyes looking for him. Heart. Melt.
5. Your daddy was an amazing partner during labor. Truly the best. I could not have done it without him.
That's all for now, we love you little Ellie. More than you can ever imagine!
I have been wondering how you're doing and what this little lady looks like....and then I remembered you had this page! Yay! Sooooo.....she is gorgeous! We soo wish we could see her (you all) in person and can't wait for the day. Blessings to your new little family.
