Guess Who Surprised Us?

I was scheduled for an induction next Monday, but she decided to arrive early!

Her big brother just loves her, despite the fake smile.  I was kind of surprised he is so enthralled with her.  He ran in the room and saw her for the first time, stopped and said: "Ohhh.....sweet baby!"

I thought he'd be indifferent, but I'm glad he is so excited.  This first time he held her, he kept staring at his hand then looking at hers, trying to wrap his mind around how tiny she is compared to him.  Pretty cute. 

  I was so happy she was just a little peanut, but still had some chub. 

We're both doing well, we're just stuck in the hospital for 48 hours because labor went too fast (2.5 hours) and she didn't get the full antibiotics before she was born for the strep B I have. 

I actually felt bad because we got to the hospital yesterday at 6am and I was 8 cm, so the nursing staff were all running around trying to get things ready and she was born in a little over an hour.  I never thought I'd actually go into labor, and had no idea it would all progress so fast.  But I have to say I didn't mind!

We're so excited to have Baby Ellie here safe and healthy and have just been loving those chubba cheeks.

So I obviously won't be posting any new projects any time soon...she's probably my best creation anyway (along with my boy too) :)

The crazy thing is my sister-in-law also had her baby yesterday.  Both of us had the same due date for next Tues, and we both delivered 6 days early.  So these two cousins share a birthday.  Wild!
