Three months later...

Hello Everyone!

Wow- what a ride this has been thus far. Our beautiful baby girl will be three months old this Thursday! These first three months have been quite a blur between the lack of sleep, c-section recovery, and moving into a new house - but I am happy to say that all the craziness has been so worth it just to see our baby girl smile and grow into a healthy happy 3 month old!
We have been so blessed to have had our families come out to visit and spend time with baby Emmalyn. My Mom, Grandad, Sister Lacy, my Dad, and Brian's parents have all already made the long trip to Seattle to see her.
Thank you to everyone for all of your phone calls, letters, and emails. Now that our baby girl is sleeping through the night (most nights) I think we will hopefully be able to get back on the "blog wagon".
Love to All!!

I know a few pictures are of Emma's "sad face" but I think she looks so adorable in these I just had to share.

Welcome Emmalyn Grace Elliott!

We are delighted to announce the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Emmalyn Grace Elliott! She was born on March 30th at 5:42pm weighing in at 8lbs 1oz and 19 inches long. Emma is officially 9 days old and she and mom are doing great!
Below are some amazing photos taken at the hospital.

40wks and still counting...

So here we are... 40 weeks! We are ready for our baby girl to arrive any day now. My due date is today, but she seems perfectly cozy in here. I will be induced this Monday if she is still not here by then. 
This week's photo is of the adorable diaper bag my godmother sent for her. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! We also included in the picture her summer beach outfit that we hope she will fit into.
More updates to come - we will do our best to keep everyone as updated as possible.
We appreciate all of your excitement and support during this exciting time in our lives. Love to you all!!

-Jessica and Brian

Baby Room Update

The glider for the baby room finally arrived this week, so we now have our final piece of furniture!
We tried our best to stick to a musical theme for her room. Since we both love music so much we hope our baby girl will share this interest as well. My Godmother is a music teacher in Texas and was kind enough to send us an entire box full of decorative options to use! Thank you Aunt Kay!!

Space Needle

We had an amazing dinning experience atop the Space Needle. The food was excellent and the views were even better. We had the Space Needle's signature desert, the "Lunar Orbiter". Its the smoking scoop of ice cream pictured below. After all that, Jess topped off the evening with chili dog on the observation deck. As you can see by the picture, she was very excited!
