Elliana Noanne is HERE!

Our lovely daughter, Elliana Noanne (El-ee-ah-nu  Noh-an), arrived Monday morning, January 9th at 12:48AM.  She was an itty bitty 6 lbs 12 oz at 19 inches long.  Thank God! 


Her arrival happened faster than anyone had expected, labor didn't last more than 5 hours from the very first contraction!  Everything went so quickly, we didn't make it to Anchorage as planned AND I wasn't able to get any assistance from an epidural.  I think I'm glad for no pain interventions, although it wasn't really my choice ;) 
 

What's really important is that I'm recovering quickly and Elliana is amazing, and perfectly healthy.  J  Elliana means “the Lord has answered” -  which is truly what this pregnancy and delivery has been all about – answered prayers.     
Here are some pictures from Elliana's first bath today!
