We were scheduled to have Eliza arrive by c-section this morning, but she had a plan of her own! I went into labor early Monday morning, and Eliza Jo Nance was born at 8:55am on December 29th. Here is our brand new baby girl......
8 lb, 20 1/2"
Clara and Hannah meeting their little sister for the first time. They passed her back-and-forth several times on this first visit. Then when they came to visit the next time, they both grabbed their pillows and sat down ready to hold her again!
Joe thought that it looked like Eliza might have reddish hair when she was first born, and that news spread quickly. (In his defense, her hair does look a bit red in the first pictures;) ) The first thing Clara did was pull off Eliza's hat and declare, "She does NOT have red hair!" Here she is examining Eliza's "not-red" hair...
Hannah adores her new baby
Hannah is already trying to share her toys with Eliza. She brought several different toys to the hospital to show Eliza.
She is also trying to share the chocolate pudding on her face! The girls loved getting pudding and graham crackers when they came to visit.
Clara was shielding Eliza's eyes from the bright overhead lights. Do you see the Christmas dress again???
Eliza gets a visit from a "princess"!
Ready to go home!
Daddy with his THREE girls....
Making use of the room in the minivan! Clara and Hannah each held one of Eliza's hands on the ride home.
Welcome home, Eliza Jo! We are so blessed by your arrival!! So far, she is a very content little girl and calms easily.....we'll see how the next few days go.
