Ok, so April 12th was ever so long ago, and SO much has happened since then, but I forgot my log-in info for a while, and was very preoccupied. So here is a quick update...
> 1st and foremost, had a baby! We were joined in the world by Eleanor Alysse (Ellie) on June 17th at 6:03pm. She was 21" and 7 lbs 12 oz, and perfectly beautiful! Labor was long and exhausting. We got to the hospital for an outpatient procedure on the 16th at 4:30pm, then were told that I had pre-eclampsia and couldn't leave until she was born. This all occured at Chandler Regional, not Mercy Gilbert as we were registered, however, we had the best nursing staff ever. We finally got to leave the hospital after 7pm on Friday, June 19th.
My mom and in-laws came from NC to help us and to be here for her arrival. We were exceptionally grateful that they were here, and we hated to see them leave.
> Well, other stuff happened, like me taking leave from work, John getting to do the same, got a 2nd car (which rocks!), and other stuff, however, I really can't recall much of it because the only thing on my mind is this precious little angel!
Later, I will tell more of the tale of her miracle birth. God really kept her safe and blessed us greatly :)
Well, it's getting later, and I am exhausted, and we have a finicky baby that has finally decided to sleep some. She is getting way to used to falling asleep on one of us...please offer advice if you can as to how we can break that. We love it, but it is only going to get worse.
Good night world!
