Happy Birthday Elizabeth!! Elizabeth Rose Stevens was born on Oct. 30 at 4:15 PM. She weighed in at 7lbs 15 ounces.
She is such a beautiful, healthy little girl and we are so happy that she finally made her debut!
Dave is a proud Daddy and has been taking good care of Mommy and baby since the birth. 
Here she is immediately after being born. The nurse is giving her her first bath! She is less than an hour old and you can even see in the picture how alert and happy she is! Everyone was surprised to see her opening and focusing her eyes so well.
Elizabeth and I had a great time together in the hospital. Lots of cuddling and recovering from what was a big ordeal for both of us!
The next day was Halloween and all three of us were feeling better and rested. So we celebrated the holiday in the hospital. Elizabeth dressed up as a little black kitty!
At the end of Halloween day, mom and baby were feeling good so we decided to head home. We dressed her in a warm fuzzy going home outfit to protect her from her first exposure to cold Seattle weather!
Halloween night Linda stayed the night with us and was a huge help! Then my mom arrived Sat. and will be here to support us until the 13th. What great moms!
We are so excited to have Elizabeth as the newest member of the family. She is such a sweet little gift. They always say that you don't realize how amazing parenthood is until you've done it, and so far what "they say" is right on. We are loving it!!!
