Ellie Mary has arrived!

[BosunsWife]

Hi. I just have a quick minute LOL!

We delivered a healthy baby girl Friday the 28th at 2:01pm. She weighed 8lbs. 5oz. and is 19 inches long. We are all doing fine. I would certainly never recommend induction to ANYONE - unless absolutely necessary. We did not have a name until she actually came out and I just knew she was an Ellie. Lots of dark (almost black) hair and a big round chubby face.

Hope everyone else is doing great and JoanneOR, I'm thinking about you. Men in general think differently than we as women do and unfortunately they deal with their stress in ways that we simply cannot understand.

Congratulations!
Glad to see everything came along fine!
Welcome, Ellie Mary!

:D

[JoanneOR]

YEA!!! Congrats Barbara and family. The name is adorable. And she wasn't that big after all! At least not as big as they were afraid.

I'm with you on the induction. Contractions are much more intense.

Enjoy this time. You know how fast they grow. How is big sister?

[valchemist]

congratulations, susan!

I am so happy for you and your family.

:)

[MrsReber]

Barbara, congratulations on your new little girl!!!! Oh, and congratulations on winning the race! I don't want to be induced!!!! Hopefully, I will follow after you. I am telling my baby about your story and hoping that he/she will now be ready to come out. Hey, it's not so bad out here- plenty of stretching room!

Hope you are enjoying your time and that Mallory is being sweet to her new sister!!!

[SallyC]

[dcornelius]

We want pictures!

[BosunsWife]

Okay, lets see if this will work. Hopefully pictures will be attached.

Well, obviously it didn't work. Can someone help me out here. I attached a picture file from my digital camera but it didn't show up.

[lhall]

Barbara,

I think the pictures have to be online first. I've used Image Station and some others have used Ofoto.

With Image Station you must create an account (free), make an album, upload the pictures, put them in the album. You can click to view a larger image of the picture and select all of the URL except the .orig.jpg on the very end. Then paste that url into your BB post.

*whew*

[Jessica]

[SusanL]

Sorry that I missed this but so happy everything turned out fine! What a beautiful name!!

[Beth Y]

Welcome to motherhood, again.
