    Smile Ellie Mary has arrived!

    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.
    "You know I was talking to my friend Desdemona the other day she
    runs this space station and bake shop down near Boomtown. She told
    me that human beings are flawed individuals. The cosmic bakers
    took us out of the oven a little too early. And that's the
    reason we're as crazy as we are and I believe it." Jimmy Buffet, Fruitcakes, 1994

    Congratulations!

    I'm sure she's a darling.

    Welcome to the world, Ellie!

    Barbara, I had been hoping you'd post soon. I was starting to get worried about you.

    Congratulations!!!!

    I'm glad to hear the name was finally resolved and that your daughter absolutely looked like one of your choices. Ellie Mary sounds like a wonderful combination.

    Hope the whole family (including MIL) is doing well!
