She's here

On 11/13/08, Luci was induced around 7:30 am and the pushing started early in the afternoon. After two epidurals and a lot of painful pushing, the doctor came in and worked her magic and we had a baby at 6:03 pm. I was in there for everything! She weighed in at 7 lbs, 15.6 oz, which comes to an even 8 pounds. She's healthy and happy now, and so is her mother. Here's a selection of pics from the first few days.

These two are from the delivery room a few minutes after delivery:






These two were taken in the hospital's nursery when she's about a day old:




This is Elle in her first carseat ride, and Luci and me coming home with her for the first time:




Here's the new family:




Here's Grandmom and Granddad Creel:

Here's a couple more of mom and dad:




And we've decided Elle has my feet, but if that's true she's got some big shoes to fill!
