Ella Ann Neely

At 3:31 am on Wednesday, March 24, my beautiful wife gave birth to our first child, Ella Ann Neely. Ella was 6 pounds 13 ounces and 20 inches long. Both Tiffany and Ella are very healthy. It was quite an adventure, but the end result is amazing. Here are a couple pictures. After I get a little sleep, I'll post up the story.

Ahhh... this is the best perk EVER for working on-call! Just got in from a call, and had to check the blog. How excited am I that baby girl came while I was out!!! Both girls are absolutely beautiful (seriously. Nobody should look so calm and put together after laboring all day!) and I LOVE the name Ella. It is perfect! Tiffany, you were such a trooper - I am so, so proud of you and all your hard work. Congratulations to both of you - the world now has two more wonderful parents in it (and one more sweet little white cherry!). That Ella Ann is one lucky little girl! Love you all!

Congratulations! She's beautiful and I love her name. Ben, the smile on your face tells it all! It's been fun to be a part of your journey via Kate and your Mom. :) Best Wishes and I'm glad she's here and that Tiffany is doing good as well.

Hello new world! I didn't get much sleep after hearing from you early this morning, celebrating the birth of Ella! (I am probably preaching to the choir on that one!) But I am so proud of you both and couldn't be happier for you all. What a lucky, lucky girl Ella is! Love you so much! Looking forward to more pictures!

P.S. I hope Sam doesn't think she is a bunny. Or a squirrel. :)

Ahhh...perfection! She is beautiful, and I love her name. Ben and Tiffany, you are amazing...you really weathered a storm over the last month. THIS, though, is what it is all about. Check her little fingers, because I am sure you will find that you are wrapped tightly around them! Tears are flowing...love you all so much!

Tiff & Ben- Ella is beautiful, but I dreamed about her and her dark hair, so I knew she would be. :) I can not wait to meet my new beautiful niece. I am so happy for you all. I love you guys so much. Lucky Ella to be born in this family :)
