Birthday Girl

To start, I will finish the story from yesterday's post, On This Day.  My doctor did not return to my room until about 12:30 am, and it was definitely past time by that point.  Just 8 minutes later at 12:43 am, Eleanor Lynn Pugh arrived in this world.  When I first saw her I cried.  She was a beautiful little girl, just like the ultrasound showed (that always amazes me).  She wouldn't cry or make a sound.  The nurses poked and prodded her until she cried.  She weighed 7 pounds and 13 ounces and was 19 inches long.  So beautiful.  

We have visitors at the moment, so I won't write a diatribe on our day today, but here is our day in pictures.  Happy Birthday to Ella!!

She got her own Wii remote.

New pajamas bought with some of her birthday money

We had a pretty quiet day at home.  Ella got Wii Play and a kid's edition of Rummikub.  She also got Bee Movie, which she loves.  She's been getting cards in the mail all week (thank you grandparents and great-grandparents!), so she is stocked up with birthday money.  We went to Wal-Mart before the couple's Bible study tonight and bought Ella supper and ice cream at McDonald's.  She bought a few things with her birthday money:  Dora p.j.'s, a Play-Doh ice cream set, a Princess puzzle book, and a pinwheel.  Then we went to Bible Study and she got to play with several friends from church and eat cake.  I think she had a really great day, and I am looking forward to celebrating more at her party on Monday night.
