Some of E's biggest fans...

She has many other fans, including her mother, but this is all I have on my phone!

Life before E

E was upset that IU ruined her bracket, so she decided to stay put!
(Yes, that is Prilosec on the sink - my heartburn was so bad!!)

Grayson sent this picture of him painting Easter eggs.  He got the dye kit in his Easter basket from Aunt Jess and Uncle Craig.

The Saturday before Easter, we went to the farm and had an Easter egg hunt for Craig's cousins.

Grayson, Sarah, and Mom came to Bloomington on my due date.  It was great to have the distraction on my first day of maternity leave with no baby!

Friday April 5th was a beautiful chilly afternoon for a baseball game.  IU just built a new stadium and with tickets at $5, we had a great time!

Saturday morning Craig participated in a 5K.  I thought about walking it to get labor started, but decided that wasn't the smartest idea.

We had lunch at one of our favorite places - Scenic View.

To kill a little time and satisfy our sweet tooth, we stopped at Red Mango!!

Then we went to another IU baseball game!

We must have stayed busy enough that E decided that she wanted to join the fun.  Sunday morning I  started having contractions and she was born at 3:06 a.m. on Monday.  We are glad she came just three days after I started my maternity  leave so that I can spend as much time with her as possible before returning to work.  

Welcome to this crazy world Eleanor!

Our very own piece of heaven arrived 10 days ago.  We feel beyond blessed for a safe delivery and healthy baby.  Recovery has been hard, but the support we have felt from friends and family has been amazing.
