Eliza was born earlier this week, and we are all madly in love with her. Long story short: I was induced; it took forever; I threw up a LOT; and in the end, we have a little piece of heaven. Baby and Mom are doing well. Here are some pictures of her first days.
The obligatory belly shot, one week before she was born
On Oxygen. Baby's heart rate plummeted with my contractions, so they had to give me a shot to stop the contractions for a few hours.

I honestly did not expect this, but Caleb totally loves her! He likes to hold her and he says to her, "I love you, Eliza." So adorable.
This is Eliza's cousin Elijah (Eli) born three weeks earlier. Eli is my sister Melissa's little baby.Welcome to the world, Eliza!
(In other news, we are living in Arizona now. Glen started his new job in June, and he is enjoying it. We are currently living with my parents. We have been trying to sell our house in Washington but are not having any luck, so now we are working on getting some renters. As soon as that happens, we'll look for a home here.)
Congrats Rachel!!!! Eliza is so cute!! We sure do miss you guys and your adorable kids. Wasn't Grace just the baby? Funny seeing her holding the new little one. I hope that you guys are Loving Arizona!!

Congratulations guys! You're right - she's definitely a little piece of heaven. I'm glad that you're both doing well. I hope that you're loving the new job and being closer to family, even if you're not loving the heat. Best of luck selling/renting your house and getting some sleep! :)
