A Few More of Eli's First Days...

Ella could not wait to sit next to her new brother when he got home!

Ella meets Eli

Ella LOVES her new little brother. She always wants to hold him, and "pet" him, and kiss him! It is too cute. Here are a few pictures from her visits while we were in the hospital.

Eli gave her this cow backpack as a gift (peace offering) -- she LOVES it and even wanted to wear it to bed that night!

Delivery Room

Elijah Stewart Jones (Eli) was born on Friday, June 12, 2009 at 2:39 PM. He weighed 6 lbs 2 oz, and he was 19.5 inches long. The delivery was MUCH different than Ella's...I had an epidural this time! we are so thankful that he arrived safely!

Heading in for Induction...

We headed into the hospital last Thursday night (June 11) for a 7:30 induction. We slept there that night, then they started the pitocin early Friday morning. Here are a few pictures that were taken as we headed off for the hospital.
