Elliott is Here!

After an exhausting 3 solid hours of pushing Marilyn had to have a C-Section. Elliott was born at 3:41 AM on 3/4/08 weighing in at a whopping 8 lbs 10 oz and 21.5 inches long. His feet are exactly three inches long. Marilyn and Elliott are doing wonderful just very very tired.

Congratulations guys! Elliott is gorgeous. I'm glad all is well. Marilyn is a rock star! I hope you can get some rest today.

Eric deserves huge kudos for posting an hour after the baby was born! It was the first think I looked for when I woke up this morning.

We are all so excited for both of you!!! Baby Elliott is beautiful! I'm glad you followed my advice and waited to have him today so he'd have his own birthday. But that was just a suggestion. You really didn't have to make it so hard on yourself! ;) Get lots of rest, and take care.

Wow! He's just beautiful, guys! Congrats! Marilyn, it sounds rough, so tell me, did you really forget the pain once he was born? :) Can't wait to meet Elliott.

I, too, am impressed by your blog dedication, Eric.

Oh, um, Marilyn? I assume you made arrangements for Julia's cake tomorrow?
