Eleanor

Well we're officially a family of four! Hard to believe!

At 3:33am Friday June the 11th Miss Eleanor Christensen entered the world. (still haven't decided on a middle name). Not a lot of people know this, but we'd been planning on a home birth this time. Last time we went to a birth center with a midwife. This time we used the same midwife, but skipped the drive. Instead she came to us, with all of the same safety equipment and supplies that she had at the birth center. She also brought a tub, which is where Eleanor was born.

Our baby Nora weights 7lbs 15oz, and is 20" long. She has dark hair, all 10 fingers and ten toes. She's perfectly healthy and the sweetest little bundle. She's been eating great, and when not eating she's been sleeping. She seems to be pretty happy. She only makes a peep when I don't get the food in her mouth quickly enough. She's not even 24 hrs old yet, so we'll see if this continues.

Ainsley is very excited. She went to bed Thursday night as an only child, not much seemingly going on, and woke up Friday morning to find a baby sister asleep next to her mommy. At first I think she was a little confused, but once she figured out that it was her baby sister, she got very excited and couldn't wait to hold her.
