Preston and Eva help Ellie take a bath

Eva saying cheese.

Preston helping Eva do her hair.

There are no actual pictures of the bath because I was helping two toddlers give a week old baby a bath. But, here are the pretty pictures of the nice clean baby and her helpers after the bath. She is so beautiful! And the brother and sister are really cute too.




Eyes wide open after all the torture!





Just love Preston's face in this one.

Adorable Eva face. Preston really isn't choking the baby.



CHEESE!



Preston so proud of Ellie being clean.

More Pictures

Ellie has jaundice bad enough for phototherapy. So we have some pictures of her in her tanning bed. Preston is holding her with her "biliblanket" strapped on. She has already had some good naps with Daddy and been dressed up a couple times.


Last moments with Grandma before she went back to California. We miss you Grandma!




They both aren't too sure about this light bed thing.


Alien baby!


Daddy and Ellie sleeping.



Ghost hand, but check out those beautiful eyes!


Preston adores her.

Ellie at the Hospital and Coming Home!

So, blogger uploads backwards; in the first pictures she is arriving home. In the subsequent ones she is traveling in her carseat made by Aunt KeriAnn, traveling with mommy in the wheelchair down to the car, and posing for pictures in her first outfit with mom and dad. Then come more pics of her at the hospital with Grandma and with brother and sister. We can't get enough of this little girl!











Grandma was here to take care of Preston and Eva so Daddy got to stay in the hospital and help Mommy and Ellie. He was very tired after staying up all night with Mommy in labor.

Eva came to visit at naptime. She took Daddy's shoulder for awhile.

Luckiest Grandma ever!


The best whole family shot we were able to get. Pretty hard with three little ones!




Big blue eyes. Hoping the eyes will stay blue and the hair will stay brown!

Preston holding Ellie

August 29th 2010 8:11 AM: Elisabeth London Hunter

Here are some pictures of Ellie's first moments on earth! She was born after ten hours of painful labor (and two weeks of painful contractions that did nothing)! We worked hard to get her here. Daddy helped mommy a lot during labor, basically massaging my back for four hours straight. She arrived on Sunday morning. She is so beautiful...

This is our first moment with her. Daddy was sitting behind me, massaging me and helping me push Ellie out. So, here we are all together just moments after her birth. We are so lucky to have Ellie!

Exactly 7 lbs. 15 oz. And PERFECT!

Daddy with Ellie. Look how small she looks!

Elisabeth London Hunter, Ellie, finally decided to come. She was stubborn and didn't show up until her due date. Yep. Born right on time. August 29th, 2010 at 8:11 AM. She was 7 lbs. 15 oz. and 22 1/2 inches long. She came with some gorgeous dark brown locks of hair and eyes that look like they might stay blue. She is an angel and we are so happy to have her with us now.

The Last of Ellie in the Tummy

We have all been waiting for Elisabeth London Hunter (Ellie) to pick an arrival date. She has been teasing mom for a long time with contractions on and off. While waiting we got to play with Aunt KeriAnn and Grandma, who both came in hopes of being able to help with Preston and Eva while Mommy and Daddy were in the hospital with Ellie. KeriAnn came and went without seeing the new baby, but we had a ton of fun with her while she was here. We are so grateful to them both!
Daddy got all the way in on a dare! We decided it was a great way to ice his muscles!

In the Taxi.

Preston got in all the way to his shoulders. Here KeriAnn and him pose "brrr!"


In the freezing water.

Eva, Daddy and Preston on a ride at the Idaho State Fair. Grandma took us all to have some fun while waiting for Ellie to decide to come. I started labor at the Fair!

A good shot of how huge I am.
