Sweet Child of Mine

Introducing Ellie Michelle Christenson --
Born Dec. 2nd at 11:14 a.m.
7.10 pounds, 19 inches and perfectly healthy.
Even after 36 hours of labor and little rest,
It was the most incredible experience of our lives.
Detailed birth story to come.
{Below} My mom, Michelle, cut the cord when Ellie was born, so it's only fitting that Ellie's middle name is Michelle!{Above} Melissa and Melanie - my amazing doulas. I could not have had an unmedicated childbirth without them. They seriously were angels and I love them so much!
{Below} Ellie has a full head of brown hair with blonde highlights. She loved getting it washed!
{Above} Fresh from the womb. Sorry I'm showing some skin ... pushing was hard work and I was feeling really warm!
