I know Bethany could blog her own post. They do have wifi in the hospital and I know she’s been online commenting and reading emails. But I’m going to abuse my power as guest poster one more time and share some photos from our visit today. It was really special, as expected.

I caught a little movie. I’m sorry about the rustling noise. That was just my wrist strap scraping over the speaker.

It was a great visit. We all got to hold Elliora and feel her tiny wriggling body wrapped up tightly in a little bundle so lightly in our arms

She’s such a cutie. Just like her big sister.

Annalie has been up since 4:30 am, beside herself with excitement for her new baby sister. So we made some early morning cards and are sending some air hugs.

We can’t wait to meet you Elliora!

Elliora Violet Gronberg was born at 11:20 pm! She’s 6 pounds, 6 ounces, 19 inches and healthy! Three hours of labor with no epidural! Bethany is doing fine.

(This is Brenda typing. I’ll add more news as I hear it!)

12:41 AM update!

Elliora has latched on and is nursing like a champ! She has a blister on her wrist because she’s been sucking on it in utero. Troy says she’s pink and healthy looking and Bethany is so happy to have her out of her!
