More on Elly's Birthday

Here are some more pictures of Elly's birthday experience.

Keri spent Tuesday night and most of Wednesday just waiting for dilation. With time to burn, Keri decided to roam the halls.

The hospital staff was wonderful and created a welcome sign for Elly.

Here's a close-up of Elly and her first bath.

Here's momma with her first born.

All this activity takes place in the birthing room.  After Elly and Keri are deemed fit to travel, they move to a regular room. A little traveling music, please.  And one of Grandma Katie holding her.

Here are the proud parents and Uncle Kevin.

Now for the trip home.  Elly was born Wednesday and they came home Friday afternoon.

Now at home, Elly is getting used to her new surroundings.  The dogs, Ollie and Shadie, are dealing with the intruder in different ways.  Ollie seems to just ignore Elly, while Shadie has to keep a close eye.
