Elliot Brooke Hendrickson

Our little girl arrived the day after her due date - March 4, 2015.  She came at 10:53 AM, weighing in at 7 lbs. 2 oz. and measuring 19 in. long.  She is perfect in every way - from the tip of her smooshed, crooked nose to the tips of her tiny toes! 


Just a few minutes old.

Right after her birth she was having some trouble breathing so she was put on a CPAP for about 5 minutes.  It was hard not to be able to hold and snuggle her right away, but I am grateful she didn't have any other real serious issues.

We had lots of family come visit us while we were in the hospital (and over the next few days).  I am glad Ellie is so cute and took most of the attention because I was looking pretty grubby for those first couple days... or weeks. Ha. 






We were only in the hospital one more night after she was born.  We were all very anxious to get out of there.  After all the usual tests and checks and a quick sponge bath, we were free to go! 

She did NOT like her bath...

But she LOVED when daddy washed her hair. 

She is so tiny! And I love it when she opens up her little peepers!  Can't believe how much she has changed our lives already.
