He's here!!!!!!!!!!

This morning we arrived at the hospital at 6 am to have our sweet little Eli. All went really well and fast. The C-Section was another experience in an of itself but we won't get into that now.

Eli was born at 8:14 am, was 7lbs exactly, and was 19 inches long. He was crying and Blake got to hold him but then they took him to the nursery because he was breathing to fast. So he is now down in NICU trying to get his breathing back to normal. We are still not for sure what is going or how long he will be in there but so far he is doing well.

He is so very cute. I still can't figure out who he looks like though. We will have to give it a little time. But he is so terribly cute and has lots of dark hair. We will update you all as we know more info and as we get better pictures.

He is adorable! Know that he is in good hands in the NICU. They have incredible doctors and nurses there. Layla started out there too for that very breathing issue. Congrats Bre and Blake. We miss you all and are sooooooo happy for your family. We will keep you all in our prayers!
