Allow Me To Introduce You To:

Our baby GIRL Elliotte! 

She was born yesterday, at home, after 8 hours of labor. 
She weighs 6lbs 13oz and is 19 inches long. 
We are still reliving our precious baby girls birth and can't stop talking about
how incredible it was to be surrounded by so much love and support.
Thank you for all of the prayers.  

I'm gunna go snuggle my little girl!
