She was born at Alta View Hospital at 4:08AM. We arrived at the hospital at 3:05AM - too late for the epidural to work! Wasn't planning to have a baby naturally but I survived it after all. Thanks to my sisters, mom and dad for supporting me and encouraging me through it, as well as the awesome nurses at Alta View and Russ!! Mostly, thanks to Alex for letting me squeeze his hand off the entire time while he still rubbed my back and shoulders with the other one!












Big sister Elli at home - this is her favorite - snuggle time! She has been so sweet. 


Post-delivery pictures - had to put them on here to prove to myself I survived :) TIRED!!!



The support group - 4AM



Going home...
