I'd Like to Introduce You to.....

I finally got my little baby girl and she is perfect. We went and checked on her in the NICU and she is doing great. We expect to see her in our room in the next few minutes. Right now it's a race between her and some chicken strips, but I think I'm cheering for her to make it first. I think.

Her name is Elena Esperanza Kanigan, but we will call her Ellie. She was born this morning at 11:34 and she weighed 5 lbs. 9 oz. and was 19 in. long.



Everyone is happy and doing well. My thanks to all of the kind words and well wishes we've received today.



more later.

I was holding my breath reading the play-by-plays! I was so worried for a few minutes...of course I was still laughing at Dan's sense of humor in his posts. :o) She is such a sweet little doll, and so teeny tiny! We only have 3 and our 3rd had 2 pounds on little Ellie! CONGRATS YOU TWO...we miss you, girls are such a wonderful joy...get rested..good luck recovering..and keep the blog posts coming!

Yay, guys! She looks beautiful! (Of course, Dan would get a beautiful girl. I can just see him intimidating the suitors in 16 years or so :) I'm so glad that everything is well. We love you guys!
