Ella Grace finally made her grand appearance January 7th at 12:53 pm, weighing 7lbs and 11 oz and 20 inches long. You would not believe all of the hair on her little head! After 22 long hours of labor, Dr. Lieb decided to go for a c-section. Apparently, this little angel liked it in my belly a little too much. I am quickly recovering and Ella Grace is adjusting well to her new surroundings. She would be quite content to sleep 24-7 if I let her, so eating has been our only battle. Thanks to the lactation consultants, we are making great progress. Gramma Riley came to our rescue this week, and Grandpa will be joining us this weekend. Gene immediately started showing off his great Daddy skills and can do anything from changing dirty diapers to burping or just snuggling his favorite little girl. Ella Grace already has several nicknames, so it may take her a while to figure out her real name. She is Mama's Sweet Pea and Daddy's Snuggleton.
