Yesterday morning at 9:39 am Elise Lily finally made a very belated grand entrance. She is beautiful and healthy. She weighs in at 8 lbs 1 ounce. She is 21 inches long. She has a head full of thick dark hair.

I am doing well and recovering quickly. Elise feeds really well and sleeps even better. In fact the biggest struggle we have with feeding is getting her to wake up to feed.

PJ is doing really well and loves to “pet” sister nicely. Michael has already fallen into the protective big brother roll. This morning while Tim was burping Elise Michael scolded Tim, “Dad, no hitting baby sister!”

I will post pics and video soon. Right now Elise is napping so I am going to take a  few minutes to brush my teeth and freshen up a bit. Sorry but dental hygiene comes before updating the website!

If Baby Girl isn’t here by tomorrow morning I am scheduled to get a Biophysical Ultrasound at noon.

I feel fine and baby is still moving a lot so this is a better safe than sorry routine ultrasound that they do for any pregnant woman who goes a week and a half over her due date.

I personally think that my due date is incorrect. I think it is later than the docs think. Baby has always measured slightly smaller and even one of the ultrasounds early on suggested that my due date was a week later than originally thought. I guess this is why they call it a “birth window” and “estimated due date.”

Tim is on vacation/paternity leave now and the boys are loving having daddy around.

We have a friend lined up to take the boys when I do go into labor since Beth and my Mom had to head back to ND.

I will update tomorrow with either news of Baby Girl finally arriving or info from the ultrasound.

Keep us in your prayers.

As of 3o minutes ago Tim is on Paternity leave/vacation.

I am still pregnant.

Mom and Beth are leaving tomorrow.

still pregnant.

My mom, Beth, the boys and I have spent our days walking walking and more walking. Today we walked at the Mall of America.
