Eli

Hello again,

I was on a roll with posting there for awhile, but alas it stopped suddenly...and for good reason! I went into the hospital on July 10th because my 'water broke,' and was put on bed-rest for the remainder of my pregnancy and was being closely monitored by the nurses and doctors for risk of infection, etc... Ten days later we had our beautiful baby boy- Eli Robert Collins, born July 17th, at 3:16pm, 4 lbs. 1 oz. and 17.5 in. He was a great size for a 32 weeker, and was perfectly healthy aside from a little new baby jaundice.

Eli had to stay in the hospital for 3.5 weeks to mature and grow and has been home ever since early August, thriving and doing great and making our lives so much better, what joy he brings!! We love him sooo much!!

Here he is:


So precious wrapped up in a swaddle. We love the aden and anais blankets, they are the BEST!! So soft and the perfect length for a snug swaddle.

He is also wearing a adorable penguin hat from Gap Baby. I'll post pictures of his completed nursery this week sometime. Just wanted to check in and say hi and that I'm back! Yay!
