Shortly after my last post, labor started in earnest... and quite a long time later we finally have a baby! Mom, Dad and Ellie are all doing well and came home this afternoon. Of course, we think she is perfect and wonderful.
Weighin' in. We had no idea she'd be quite so big! How did all that kid fit inside my belly!?! It's a really good thing she didn't wait any longer. :)
Mom and Eleanor 20 minutes after birth. We were very thankful to finally hold her and that she was doing okay.
Hello world!
Finally doing some crying in the arms of a very happy Daddy.
Dryin' off after her first bath.
Warming up after bath time.
Proud Grandma Sargent holding Ellie just a couple hours after birth.
Finally, warm and snuggly - time for some zzzz's.
Mommy and Eleanor, snugglin'.
So, of course, we have a zillion more pictures to share and stories to tell. But, we'll post 'em later. We're working super hard on sleeping and eating right now. :)

Yay!! I have checked your blog so many times since your last post... just waiting and waiting! : )
Congratulations!! She is adorable! I love the last picture with the bow in her hair! Cute!
So glad she's out!! :^) She's too cute! of course, I can't wait to hear the birth story. Have a great Mother's Day with your new baby girl!
So I am totally crying just looking at these... and I had seen them already in an email from your mom. I am so happy for you both! I CANNOT wait to meet her and hold her and kiss her in person. Gracie squealed the first time she saw little Ellie. I think they will be great friends. Keep us up to date on life - which just got a lot more interesting to those of us in the blogging world!
We love you!
Congratulations!! I am so happy for you guys. Like Lynn said I too had been checking the blog a few times each day after the one stating that there was progress. Thanks for the pictures. She is beautiful!!!
Beth French
Hurrah! She is absolutely beautiful and perfect. You and Seth both look like you made it through the labor process wonderfully. I can't wait to hear more about how everything is going, enjoy your time with your new little one!
Me again... just back to look at the pictures (for the tenth time!). I love her so much already!!!!
Oh Beth & Seth!!!!! I cannot express enough how happy and excited I am for the both of you. I too have been checking the blog more times than I want to admit in a day's time and I'm so glad Ellie is finally here. I absolutely love the name and she is to beautiful for words. I love the pic. of her and Seth on the couch and I loved the picture w/the bow in her hair, she truly is perfect!!!!!
Much love, Katie & Ben
YAY!!! She is so cute and I love the name! Congrats! (What a whopper!)
Hooray hooray!!!! Happy Mother's Day Bethany! I'm so glad your little one arrived :):) Your daughter is beautiful! And I LOVE the name you have given her. You and Seth look wonderful and I can't wait to see more pictures and read more stories. Congratulations!!!
Yay! Congratulations! She is absolutely adorable! I love her name. Happy Mother's Day!
Seth and Bethany,
Congratulations on the birth of baby Eleanor. We wish you all the best, and we'll try to call you in a few days after you've settled back home. So happy for you!
Bwalya (and Sean)
Yay! We are soooo happy! What a wonderful blessing she is to so many people. You guys are loved and we hope to see you sometime soon(ish). For now, have a great Mother's Day. And keep us updated!
Lots of love!
P.S. I love the name. My grandma (my mom's mom, who was a wonderful person and I loved very much) was named Eleanor Elizabeth. That's where I got my middle name. My mom teared up when I told her the name you chose. Little Ellie now holds and even more dear place in my heart!
Congratulations my friends!!!
She is beautiful and obviously worth the wait.
I am so happy for you. You have truly been blessed by God.
Take care, and be assured you are in my prayers at this joyous time.
Jim
