Our darling little girl!

Ella Cheri Smith was born Wednesday, May 13th 2009 at 3:38pm. Ella was 6lbs 9oz and 20in long. I was pregnant 39 weeks and 6 days. She was very kind to mommy by having a small head and an easy birth. She surprised us on Wed at 3:30am when I started having labor pains. My sister took me to the hospital since Robert had just gone to work. I was dilated to a 6 when we got to the hospital and then we were sent to labor and delivery. Robert got there just in time to see me get my epidural which slowed down my labor. I was at an 8 for about two hours when finally things started to get going again. I pushed for about 45min and she was out. I had a great nurse named Karen Harleen who pretty much delivered the baby.

We are so excited to finally have Ella in our lives. She is has been a blessing in our home. It is hard to comprehend the amount of love you can have for your child. We can just sit and stare at for hours, she is so stinking cute! She has already managed to wrap her father around her tiny pinky.

3D Ultrasound

Well the baby is coming in a few days so I figured that I better stop procrastinating with my blog.  Here are the 3D ultrasound pics that I had done like 7 weeks ago.  Who do you think she looks like, me or Robert?

Not really sure why her eye is popping out on the bottom left picture but I'm sure it has something to do with the fluid around her when the picture was taken.  As for the bottom right picture, not really sure if her nose actually looks like that.   I guess we will know soon enough!
