Welcome To Our Family, Ella Grace!!

We are so pleased and excited to introduce our newest addition of our family! Ella Grace was born on February 16, 2010 at 4:59 p.m. She weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 14 oz and was 21 1/4 inches long. The labor and delivery went very well and we're all feeling great!
This is my doctor, Dr. Peterson. She has TONS of pics hanging up in her office of her and the babies she delivers, so we thought we'd add to her collection!
The first pic of us with Ella.
I can't tell you how long I've waited to be able to put bows in my little girl's hair...
Here's Gigi meeting Ella for the first time. She flew in on Tuesday evening and came right to the hospital...it was so good to see her!!
Pierce fell in love with Ella the moment he saw her. I will try to post the video, as his reaction is the purest form of love through a little boy's eyes. It's breath-taking to watch him!
Thank goodness, I still seem to be the #1 girl in Pierce's life...for now! :)
We came home on the 18th and are now getting used to life as a family of 4. My mom is here to help us out and we're so very thankful for her. B's mom will come in a few weeks to help when Brandon goes back to work.

Kisses for baby sister...
