2 Weeks

I couldn't help but add this one of my two handsome men.



Hard to believe that we've already made it past the first two weeks of Eva's life. It's been a wonderful couple weeks so far and very busy too. Not sure when things will actually slow down at this point. Thanks to many who have stopped by to say hello, bring a gift, food...etc. The Lord has blessed us with many wonderful friends and family who have spoilled us and we are grateful.
Eva had her two week appointment on Friday and weighed in at 7.2 lbs. She has been an EXCELLENT little eater so far and is beginning to fill out those little cheeks. She slept so well the first week + and then the last few nights has decided that she likes to be held throughout the night. Such a stinker at a young age. Oh well, I do love cuddling with my baby girl and so I'm just gonna enjoy it while it lasts. Thank goodness for nap time.
John's parents, sister Sarah, and her two little ladies are coming into town this week and we are so very excited. Eva can't wait to meet her two cousins. Edward is ready for a playmate his age too. Hope that Greta doesn't mind playing with tractors and airplanes.

Family of four

Meaning of Evangeline - Good news; bearer of good news; like an angel.
May she be a little evangelist for our Lord one day very soon.

God has truly blessed our family today!

John, Edward, and myself are happy to announce the birth of our daughter:
Evangeline Mae Heller
Born: September 25th 2009
Time: 1:21 AM
Weight: 6 lbs, 7 ounces (Exactly the same as her big brother Edward at his delivery).
Length: 20 In.
Lots of long dark hair, beautiful blue eyes, and she has a definite girly sounding cry.

A short recap of the delivery:
The Lord blesesed me with an amazing delivery!
Contractions began at 11 PM, I tried to straighten my hair between them. :)
We arrived at the hospital around 12:15 AM.
The nurse checked me initailly at 12:43 AM and stated that I was 8 cm's and had "majorly bulging membranes." Ahhhhhh!
They moved me to my delivery room shortly after, it felt like forever.
I hated having the monitor on my stomach for the required 20 minutes and kept asking to have it removed.
Didn't have time for a nice warm bubble bath or pain meds.
The midwife made it to the hospital around 1:10ish, broke my water, and after one BIG push, Eva Mae made her apperance at 1:21 AM.
THANK THE LORD!!!
We are all doing wonderful!
The Daddy is almost asleep, poor thing. :)
Pictures to come...
