Just a little off...

15 days was just a little off...a mere 37 1/2 hours after my last post we welcomed our daughter, Elizabeth Jaye, into this world (for those not wanting to do the math, that's 3:28 a.m. Wednesday). Arriving 2 weeks early and with much drama, she is the best valentine I've ever received. Weighing in at 6 lbs. 8 oz. and measuring 19 inches, she is just too adorable. Her arrival had eerie similarities to my arrival into this world - nurses shouting "don't push!" as they scurried to get everything together in time. I'll tell that story another time, but we just wanted to share some pictures from the last few days and introduce you to the newest member of our family. We are still trying to figure out who she looks like...what do you think?


Look at all that hair! (to the left)

Showing off the lungs - she cried for almost the first 2 hours of her life... Clay says she definitely has my lungs!

Gorgeous!!! So glad I was able to speak to you on the phone...it's never the same as seeing you face to face, but it will have to do for now. Kisses to Elizabeth and Jonathan from David. XXXOOO

Elizabeth is beautiful!! I am sooo sad that I didn't get to see her this weekend, but I'd rather not see her than get her sick...Well, I guess I will just have to babysit both Jbird and Elizabeth over spring break...:D

Love you all!
