Ruby...

This picture makes me happy and I just thought I'd post it. Little Ruby can scream her guts out and frustrate the heck out of me but when I look at her when she's like this I just want to squeeze her and kiss her a thousand times! Being a mom is definitely one of the hardest things I've chosen to do in life but absolutely the most rewarding! We love our Ruby and couldn't be more proud of her!

She's here!

Ruby Ann Ellerman
Born April 27th at 9:55 a.m.
Weighed 7 lbs. 14 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long


I never thought I could love a little baby so much! She is our Pride and Joy! I love her fuzzy black hair and her tiny little heart lips and her very large feet and how she got her daddy's Mexican genes and the way she goes cross-eyed when we are too close to her face and all of her funny/adorable noises she makes... she just makes my heart happy! Brian has always been afraid of newborns and I thought he might just kinda sit back and let me take care of her for the first little while... oh no, He is so stinkin good with her! He wants to hold her all the time and put her in all of her cute outfits, when she starts crying he hurries and makes her happy... He's just fabulous! I'm really impressed and proud of how good of a daddy he is! I can tell she's gonna have him wrapped around her finger!
Labor was surprisingly not bad at all. I expected the absolute worse and I was pretty proud of myself that I did it so easily! Epidurals are truly amazing! Everything went great and simple and I'm so glad she's here!

Eek! Scary picture of me!
