The Stork Has Landed!

On February 16, 2009 at 7:49 pm, our little angel finally arrived. Her name is Ella Sophia Tensmeyer and was a whopping 8 lbs (actually 7 lbs 15.5 oz to be exact). She was 21.5 inches in length and has the most beautiful blonde hair I've ever seen. Holly is doing great and Ella is passing all the exams with flying colors. I think she's trying to go for extra credit with the poopy diaper thing. They said the goal would be to see at least one on the first day, but she's giving us plenty of practice. Holly made things look easy (as easy as giving birth can actually be), but has to give some credit to her epidural. We didn't sleep much last night but it was the best night of my life. Here's some of my favorite pics:

The labor process begins...mmm, jell-o!


7 lbs 15.5 oz!


Poor thing...she look's so scared.

Look at that cute little tongue!

Don't you just love that blonde hair?!
This is one of my personal favorites!





We have taken a lot of video footage as well, so I might try and post some of that later. We can't wait to bring her home!! Thanks everybody, for all your love and support!
