It's a girl!


Introducing Elsie Rebecca Groves. We had a girl! Joy overflowing. She is beautiful, precious and seems so teeny tiny even though she came out at 8 pounds 9 ounces. Elsie made her arrival on Thursday night and it is quite the birth story. Absolute opposite of Ivar's... I'll share it later this week. Bottom line: we'll have more kids.

We are doing well. We're working really hard on nursing but I think we turned a corner today. This evening Ivar will come back from Grandma Margaret's and we'll celebrate our family of four. So far he has been interested in counting her toes and greeting her with a happy, "Hello, baby!"
