Elise is here!

Our daughter, Elise Victoria, arrived on May 30 just before 8:00 PM.

She scored a 9 on her APGAR and is a healthy, normal, perfect baby. I cannot stop thanking God that she's here and healthy.

She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz, and was 20.5 inches long.

Just moments after birth



Elise means consecrated to God and Victoria means victory. 

Many more pictures and a birth story will be coming to this blog soon. But basically I had the most ideal induction ever. God was in every detail. Another huge answer to prayer.
  
Heading home. You can see her full head of HAIR. Way more hair than me right now. :)

    Beautiful, beautiful girl (and momma!). I hope you're just falling more and more in love each day with that sweet pea! Soak it all in. They really do grow and change so quickly. And I know I've said it before, but praise Jesus for such a healthy birth and baby!!! He is so good.
