It’s a Girl!

Yes, we knew that part already, but it’s still fun to say:)

Melanie went into labor a bit early last night, so we went to the hospital to get checked, the doctor (Dr. Pieternelle) was walking up the hall as we walked off the elevator and said “there’s no use even checking you, you are less than 12 hours from the scheduled c-section, let’s go ahead and have her”.

:eek:

Melanie’s eyes bugged, my mouth dropped and an hour later Elise was here!:)Just a few photos before I head back to the hospital:

Beautiful mama waiting for the arrival:

Joyce Hendricks - It was such a joy to hold this beautiful baby yesterday. As I told your mother Allen, this just never grows old!! Elise baby ring has been ordered from James Avery and will be engraved with her beautiful name so it will take a little longer to receive. I love you, Melanie, David and Elise—Aunt Joyce
