It's been a whole month since Elly came into this world. Labor and delivery was such a beautiful experience. 26 long hours of labor and I did it naturally. She was born August 26th at 2:54am and weighed 9 pounds and 1 ounce. I learned that it doesn't matter how many people you ask for advice about giving birth, NOTHING can prepare you for your own unique birthing experience. I'm so grateful for my wonderful husband and mother who were there with me every minute of it, helping me breathe, rubbing my back, feeding me ice, coaching me and keeping a positive attitude. Since then, there has been a lot of sleepless nights and it seems like all I do is feed her, change her diapers and try to get her to stop fussing. But we love her so much, more than we could have ever imagined. She has already began smiling, usually right when she wakes up in the morning. She's a little water baby, she loves her baths. She seems to sleep the best when there is a lot of noise so we usually have to have the fan or TV or some sort of music on. She is getting bigger and chunkier and it amazes me that everyday she gets cuter. I could sit and look at her for hours. I love my little family and can't wait for the days to come. Heavenly Father has been good to us. Life is wonderful.
