Lots of pictures of Elara's first days

I just want to write about how much I love my Derek! He has been the best husband and father we could have ever asked for. He has been there for us every step! And by golly he looks good as a doctor! We are so lucky to have him and we all love him so much!

 Mom meets Elara. Can I just say holding a baby while you are on an operating table is actually quite nerve wracking... It was a precious moment though.
 All cleaned up.
 In recovery now.
 Dad and his 3 kiddos!
 Derek is the best Dad!
 Eden enjoying the first moments of being a big sister. Hopefully it lasts a lifetime. :)
 Elara's hair was a fuzz ball the first day. She had to wait 24 hours to have a bath. She did love getting that hair washed. Not the rest of the bath though.
 Dad loving his new baby girl.
 First family photo of 5!
 Grammy and Grampster meet Elara.
We are so grateful for all the help they have given us over the last plus week! It has been a roller coaster and we couldn't have done it without them!
 Kael meets Elara. It has been so precious because he used to hug my belly and say, "I love baby Elara so much!" Now he keeps telling us how she isn't in my tummy and has to hug her and tell her the same thing. He is the best big brother and his sisters are lucky to have him!
 Eden is loving being a big sister and is so good with Elara already.







We are so in love with Elara! We love having her in our family! She really has rocked our world and we wouldn't have it any other way! Love you so much Elara!
