She and Molly are both doing wonderfully. She was able to stay with us right from the start after scoring an 8 and a 9 on her APGARs. I got to hold her pretty much from the start so Molly was able to see her quickly too. We’ve spent the rest of this afternoon getting to know her a bit. She cried for about the first 30 minutes or so solid, although I can’t really blame her. Since then though she’s been a perfect angel, and really hasn’t cried at all. She’s not to keep on opening her eyes, she’s had them open for maybe 5 minutes of the 5 hours she’s been here. I guess she’s in no particular hurry though. I’ll have pictures tomorrow!
Welcome to the world Ellie! I woke up thinking about you this morning knowing you’d be here. Congratulations Zak, Molly and Zoe. Love, Aunt Amy
