Little Elliette was born on August 12th at 12:37 am and weighed 8lbs 1oz and is 20 inches long. Speaking of long, you'll see on the slide show that we tried to highlight Elliette's most outstanding feature...her very long fingers. I think she is going to be a basketball player because with those mitts she is probably going to be tall and easily palm a basketball.
Until Melissa got her epidural she was having some pretty intense contractions, but after the happy juice kicked in she was taking naps and watching tv with me. At the end she did get a little sick, but nothing out of the ordinary from what were told. Elliette was actually born when the US was receiving their bronze metal in men's gymnastics, which we were all watching including the doctor and Melissa.
We are starting to notice features that she has from us which worries us a little, but I am sure she will grow up to be a beautiful girl and if for sure a cute baby.
On a side note, we will be posting some videos as well as soon as I edit them...we haven't exactly mastered the use of the video camera yet.

She is so cute! I want to see her! To be honest, while looking at the pictures, I thought I could see a lot of Melissa's family in her. Guess I'll have to see her in real life to really know (or just have you guys tell me :). I love her hair as well and the cute purple bow and the cute little braclet! Man you guys did GOOD!!!!
P.S. How do you feel about arranged marragies? You know Elliette and Corban?
By the way, Gleak, you look great in the hospital pictures! I looked so horrible in mine. I decided that the next one there will be no pictures till I can get ready. There always fun to have though, I guess.
