Eliza Rachel

Eliza arrived Monday evening. She was 7 lbs. exactly and only 17 inches long. Needless to say, she's got great cheeks as well as a lot of dark hair and dark blue eyes. The surgery went beautifully. She was perfectly healthy except for a low blood sugar that landed her with an IV for only a day. Not bad for a full 4 weeks early.

We were allowed to come home remarkably early (not even 48 hours) because everyone is doing so well. Feel free to come visit us and see the little beauty. For those of you who can't make it, here are some pictures. More to come as we get time.

  1. Oh I am so excited for you!! She is beautiful and so cute! I am glad you had her now--7 lbs is just right--she would be way to big (for my preference) a month later!! Congrats and enjoy every sleepless moment!
