Baby Vivien - Our newborn daughter!!!!

Vivien was born on a Friday after 18 hours of waiting she came into the world kicking a screaming with a full head of hair at a not so tiny 8lbs 12 oz. I held her in my arms during the first night with a kind of scary excitement that can probably only be experienced when you become a parent.... thanks mostly to our amazing families it has been a breeze getting adjusted at home, she's a very quiet baby who only occasionally let's us know we've forgotten something...:)

A very big and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Stephanie, Vivien and I love you all!

Love,

S+J+V!!!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful baby.

Congratulations, Ellis family! Our best wishes to you all! Sending something your way soon... Things got shuffled around a bit as we were merging households, but I think we're back on track to get to the post office shortly.

Beautiful family. Congratulations and love!
