Announcing the arrival of our sweet baby girl!!!

We are so glad that our little angel has finally arrived. I went in for a c-section at noon on Feb. 5 and she was born at 12:20. She had a little bit of fluid in her lungs so they took her to the newborn intensive care unit to give her some oxygen and make sure she was okay. I didn't get to see her right away which was a bummer, but she needed to be taken care of. While in the NICU they tested her blood sugar levels and found they were a little low. They gave her an IV in her foot to feed her fluids. Her levels were normal after the first day and she has been healthy ever since. We stayed at the hospital until Tuesday Feb 9 and are now home trying to get into a routine. Ellyse's big brothers just love her to pieces. It is fun to watch them be so sweet and gentle with her.

Tim and my mom were both able to be in the operating room and witness the miracle of Ellyse being born.

The first picture of Ellyse. That is all I saw before they took her to the NICU.
She is lookin' good and has a little better color!

Sweet kisses from her daddy!
They brought her out of the NICU for a minute so I could hold her for the first time.
What a little cutie 2 days old!
Sleeping soundly - 3 days old
Getting ready to go home in her new outfit (Grandma Newman gave it to her)
All set to go home and meet her big brothers - the hospital didn't allow visitors under the age of 12 (due to the swine flu risks) so she didn't meet her brothers until we left the hosptial.
Yeah! What a beautiful little girl! Can't wait to get to know my little niece better. I have lots of Favorite-Auntie cuddles for her.... Good job Tim & Beth!
