WELCOME HOME!!!

 Waiting for her big sister (with a gift)
 Here she comes :)
 Abby ran right past me and straight to her baby sister
 "Baby so cute."
 Giving Ellie her bunny
 Ellie's present to Abby
 Mommies and their babies

 Special cupcakes

Going home

One has to stay in the hospital for 48 hours after the delivery of one's baby.  This is due to testing they do on the baby 48 hours after birth.  Insurance does not cover an additional day for the parents, so we had wait all day Friday for the test, and leave at midnight.  That was not fun.  Not to mention we had a very pushy and rude nurse who wouldn't even allow me to feed Ellie before we left.   That is another story though...Too bad I didn't listen to her.



 Adam had this balloon tied to the car :)
 Welcome home baby girl!!

Abby meeting her baby sister

11:30 the night Ellie was born. 
The next day after a good night's rest.  Little miss sassy is back!

Waiting for Ellie

Right after a contraction.  It was a forced smile...


 "Mommy hold you!"
 Abby played in that curtain quite a bit.  She loved to spin in it and then pop out and say, "peek a boo!"

 Watching Tangled

 I started to feel itchy on my face and neck from the Epidural, so I had some anti itch medicine which made me feel extremely dizzy and light headed.  Thus the oxygen.
 Everyone watched a lot of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
 Okay, we're ready to push!
The best doctor and nurse EVER.

Ellie Day One

Although Abby met her baby sister the night before, the next day she got to hold her for the first time.  She did so well!  She loves holding Ellie, and does so multiple times a day.  It amazes me how sweet and gentle she is, just check out how precious her little hand is resting on her baby sister's belly.

 "Tiny baby cute!"




 Eating Jelly Beans
 Watching TV with her buds.  The little boy on the left has claimed that he is going to marry Abby when they are older.  He has good taste!



 "Oh Toodles!"  I watch a lot of Mickey...
 My first real rest since having Ellie






 What a smile!!
