Finally, more pictures

Here is a more comprehensive look at Ellie, momma Julie and the events of the last couple of days.As you can see, Julie was an amazing laborer and deliverer, pushing out the baby in about 11 hours (from first intense contractions to delivery of Ellie). She was in the water for the birth and claimed it was better than being pushed on by a 120 lb Korean woman. Ellie's weight is displayed on the scale. I am not allowed to say it from this point forward because it is rude for a gentleman to do so.
Micah visited the hospital and wondered why mom and Ellie could not come home. He had to settle for me as Julie's mom stayed the long first night in the room with the other two women. I think they watched "Beaches" and "Thelma and Louise"...typical girls night out.
Julie's great idea was to have a birthday party for Ellie when we got home. Micah was excited because he got ice cream and cake for dessert. This of course worked well until Micah realized the party was not for him. The stunned look on his face is just after we told him that we were celebrating the birth of his sister.

Baby Ellie
