They say that stormy nights and full moons bring babies into the world... I didn't believe it. There is no way the weather could effect when you baby comes into the world. Boy am I DEAD WRONG! Our little Ella Marie came to us last Saturday morning the 13th at 4:09 AM and two weeks early. Not only were there no signs of being in labor but I dilated from a 4 to a 7 in 30 minutes! After 3 hours of labor and an epideral and 10 seconds of pushing... our little princess journeyed to us with wide eyes and ready to take on the world.
My doctor is AMAZING and she got there 5 minutes before Ella decided to say "hello"
Jake is such a good daddy and he loves his little girl. They have so much in common already. She totally has his lips, eyes, fingers and toes.
Ella weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and is 18" long. She is such a dolly and a thrill to be with. I still can't believe that Heavenly Father would entrust such a miracle in my hands but she is such a joy and sometimes I wake her up just so I can hold her and rock her to sleep again.

Oh Erin. She's gorgeous. It's Karen (Dickey) Bergeson from high school. I come take a peek at your blog every once in a while and was so thrilled to see you'd had your little girl and everything went well. Enjoy all the little moments right now. Before you know it, she'll be cruising around and yelling "mama!" non stop. Congratulations!!!
Yeah!!! We are so happy for you guys and can't wait to meet Ella! I bet you two are just in Heaven having a sweet cute little girl in your family. We are super excited for your new addition to the family and again can't wait to see her.
Hope you are doing well
