Our little Peanut is here! Ellison Leigh Matta was born today, April 22nd, 2008, at 2 p.m. She weighs 5 lbs. 11 oz., and measures 18 1/4". She has sandy blond hair with what appears to be blue eyes.
Erin is doing fantastic! Her water partially broke last night at around 9:45 p.m., and we decided to head to the hospital at 2:30 a.m. this morning. A quick visit to the emergency room and the maternity ward, and we were sent home. Literally as soon as we walked in the door Erin began to have some serious contractions; 30 - 45 seconds long, 2 - 3 minutes apart. We didn't really know what to do, as the Hospital had just moments ago sent us home. So, we (and by we, I mean Erin...what a trooper) rode it out and waited until around 7 a.m., got cleaned up, and headed to the hospital. Erin was admitted around 8:15 a.m., and by 1:15 p.m., she was fully dialated and ready to push. It only took her 45 minutes, and out came baby Ellison! I'm so fantastically proud of my wonderful wife; she was so amazing! And our little girl is incredibly beautiful, and is truly our little Peanut!
Here's a video for everyone to enjoy (she hasn't had a bath yet). More pics to come!
