Meet baby Elijah Josías! Our newest edition to the family was born Monday afternoon, right on his due date, and we couldn’t be more smitten. The public hospital birth was smooth and quick, as baby E. arrived less than an hour after I checked in at the hospital, exactly as I’d hoped! Birth story coming soon, but in the meantime, here are the stats:

Holli says
Congrats to you and your beautiful boy! You look great as well. Hope you are enjoying and getting the rest you need, too.
Jelli says
Thanks, Holli. I really feel like recovery is faster this time around, though I’d have never guessed, since he came so fast and required stitches. Praise God for a healthy baby & to be at home enjoying him as I recover. Hope you have a blessed week too!
Blair Francis says
congrats! that picture of baby e and your hubby nose to nose is precious!!
Jelli says
Thank you Blair! My mother-in-law had a blast shooting a handful of photos for us yesterday. That’s one of my favorites too. My husband is a super father & I love watching him play with the kids…so heartwarming!
Nicolette Springer says
Congrats! I’ve been pretty much stalking you on social media to see how things were going. So glad the birth went as you planned. He is beautiful! Can’t wait to see more of him and Big Sis together. So sweet 🙂
Jelli says
Summer is crazy about the baby! She likes to help burp him, diaper him, kisses him constantly. It is adorable!!
Kelley says

Kerrie Williams says

Erika says
CONGRATS!! So exciting, and glad it went so smoothly! He looks adorable:)
Leslie says
Oh my goodness! What a cutie! Aww, he’s so tiny!! Congratulations! Your family is beautiful!
Jelli says
He was remarkably tiny, it’s true. Makes my little girl look huge even though she’s still not even 2 years old. I must say though, for the birthing process, smaller is probably my preference…healthy of course 😉
Tehila says
Congratulations, Jelli!!! I am over-the-moon excited for you and your beautiful, growing family! Elijah Josias is gorgeous, and fits right in with your lovely tribe… Honestly, rejoicing and elated for you!!! Much love, and will be praying for you during these next days. God bless you, beloved friend…xx

Raven, to tell you the truth, I had another post scheduled for the mixer this week that I’d written waaay in advance and planned to use. Since baby was born & I just couldn’t resist sharing the news, I “had” to change it. Thanks for visiting.
Yen at GHOTH says

missed this while traveling, but congrats!!! only 5% of babies are born on their due date, so maybe he will have a knack for playing the lottery or something! not that I’m recommending that 😉
