Baby Ella Ryan

We are so happy to have this little baby in our home! She was born at 3:06 on Tuesday. (luckily the Dr came running in at the last minute to deliver!!! My nurse didn't believed me that I would "go fast" and when I told her 45 min after they broke my water she was coming...until she checked for herself:) It was a little scary, but all worked out) She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. She has lots of dark hair but mostly just on the sides and in the back:) She is so sweet and the girls are fine with having her around. They don't really pay attention to her, but haven't been mean to her either. I can't believe how glad I feel to just have one little baby:) I am so glad we had the twins first and now we can really appreciate the simpleness and beauty of a new baby.

Tara and Andrew said...

Yea Chelsea! This baby actually looks like you!:) Except those lips...pretty dominant from Ryan, huh? Way fun! She is gorgeous. You forget how tiny and perfect they look. I'm so happy for you---and can't believe that you are a family of five? Who would have thought when we were are in High School that you would be here in 7 years? Crazy!! Congrats!!!

Congrats Chels! She's beautiful!

Keely Kellett said...

Congrats! She is so cute! Our doctor should believe when we tell him our babies are coming. That is exactly what he had to do with me. Emma is like your girls too, she's pretty indifferent about having a new baby around. Which is nice in a way, I don't have to worry about her mauling the baby. Now I will have to come see you and we'll just exchange presents. Love you!
