Introducing Ella Dawn

When Stacie and Greg announced they were pregnant last Christmas, it felt like July was so far away. Fortunately time passes pretty quickly, and before we knew it, July was here. I thought Ella would come early because Stacie had been having contractions for over month, but a few days after her due date, they decided to induce. Stacie was already in active labor when they checked into the hospital, but it was a little slow going at first. The next morning, Ella changed her mind in a hurry and in a matter of minutes, she was here.

Ella Dawn Fox born at 9:30 a.m. on July 28 weighing 8lbs. 6oz.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet her right away, but as soon as the weekend came, we headed to Rose Hill. She was so precious and reminded us a lot of Henry when he was little. She slept pretty much the whole time we were there, aside from a few feedings. That meant I got lots of cuddle time!

 Such a cutie! 

 The boys played video games while Ella and I snuggled on the couch. 

 Kyle even took a turn, but she started to wake up, so he handed her over to Stacie pretty quickly after this. 

The next week they came down to buy a car from Kyle, so we got even more time with the kiddos.

Henry picked out the black truck for his daddy.

Stacie did a little brother-sister photo shoot. Henry is already a great big brother. It's been a bit of an adjustment having to share Mom and Dad's attention, but I'm sure every only child struggles with that.

Thank goodness he has some time before he has to start sharing his trucks with her!

This is such a fun time for our growing family. Ella, I know you will be a wonderful addition and will give those boys a run for their money! We can't wait to spoil you rotten!
