July 31, 2013 By Jelli 36 Comments

baby e and familyMeet 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:baby e

      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!

      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!

      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 😉

      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.

    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 😉
