Even through all the ups and downs of infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, I was constantly reminded of just how much I was blessed. The blessings now continue as we embark on the joys of parenthood.

Ella
Eleanor "Ella" Debra was born at 2:10 pm today, Thursday, September 30th. She is beautiful and perfect in every way. God is so good to us!
I'll update more later. Thank you for your prayers and well-wishes.
What a blessing she is! I'm exhausted and sore, but am so so so happy!
I named my daughter Eleanor, too, so I think you picked the most beautiful name EVER for your precious girl! She was born three months ago. We're in Tucson...maybe we'll meet up with our little ones someday. :)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Congrats Laura and 'HI ELLA!" I've been at a work conference for the past two days so very limited access to internet and I'm soooo thrilled for you and your family - she is BEAUTIFUL! How are you doing? Can't wait to hear the whole birth story - you are truly blessed in every way - this just made my weekend! :))))) ((hugs!)
Congratulations Laura!!! It is so amazing to see your path lead to such joy and beauty. You truly are BLESSED! I am so happy for you, and look forward to hearing all about Ella! Take care of yourself in the coming days and weeks...try to get some rest ;)
Hooray!! Ella was my favorite name and was going to be my baby's name, way before she was even conceived. But once I was pregnant it just wasn't right for her for some reason. Both Ella and Eleanor are such beautiful names! Congrats and enjoy your new life!!
Congratulations Laura! Ella is so beautiful. What a blessing!! I can't forget her birthday because it's our wedding anniversary. I am so happy for you and your family. Hope you heal quickly and get plenty of rest while you're a the hospital.
She is BEAUTIFUL!!! And totally looks like you! :) Love you! Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteYAY! Love Eleanor and Ella! We loved the name Ella too, but my best friend named her baby Bella so that would be weird! My sister claimed it anyway!
