Etta Emily arrived two and a half weeks ahead of schedule on Friday, March 8 at 5:32 a.m., weighing in at 7 lbs., 15 oz. and stretching 20 3/4 inches long. She is Elise’s newborn identical twin.
Arriving with more than two weeks until her due date, a lot of things were left undone around here. Elise’s Jenny Lind bed. The kitchen. My dad worked like crazy over the weekend to get our dishwasher and sink installed by the time we came home from the hospital. But none of that really seems to matter anymore.
She’s only been alive five days, but I can’t imagine life without her now. I feel completely lucky to be the mom to two such beautiful little girls.
I have a few posts scheduled for the coming weeks and plenty of projects to show you, but I hope you’ll understand if things are a bit quieter around here for a while!
Congratulations! One day after my birthday too–fun!
Thanks! And two days after my own birthday! Truthfully, I wish she had come on your birthday. I was in labor for 17 hours!
She is such a cute baby!!!! I like the foto that she smiles!
Bravo!
This is the best present i suppose you could have!
A very good birthday present, indeed!
So, so sweet! Elise and Etta are such cute names. And what does big sis think of Etta?
Elise is (understandably) a little thrown, but warming up to her. Give her a few weeks and I’m sure she’ll be president of Etta’s fan club.
Congrats to you and your family! Enjoy your time with her. She’s beautiful.
Thanks! She has been a really calm baby so far!
