Ella Ann Clark

Well, our little girl decided to come! She was born June 4, 2010. She was 11 days early and very healthy! She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 20 inches long! Kenna was very excited to have a new baby sister and has been very good...for now! Let's hope it sticks. She loves to tell her good morning every single day! She will come running in our bedroom and peek in the cradle and say, "hi sweety." 

The other day Kenna came running into our room and looked in the cradle as she was walking out I said, "Kenna, do you want to come lay by us?" (Ella was in bed by me) She ignored me and walked out. I heard her walk through the kitchen to the living room and then she came back to our bedroom door and said, "Mom, the baby is gone!" I started laughing and told her she was laying by me! Kenna gets quite concerned about Ella!

I do have to say I am very grateful for my husband. I didn't think I was in labor. I had had a few uncomfortable contractions at home and they were getting better. He told me we were going to the hospital and I wanted to wait. I told him if we went we couldn't call his parent's until we knew if they were keeping me because his parents were leaving with their friends on a little weekend getaway! He walked over to the neighbors house and asked them if Kenna could come and play while we went. He somehow got me in the car and started driving! On the way I only had three contractions and was positive I was not having a baby. I kept telling him, "I don't know, I don't think I'm in labor." I told him to stop at his parents as they had already left and we could wait and see what happens. He told me I was too ornery and drove straight to the hospital so we could have a baby! Well, it's a good thing he did. We got to the hospital at 5pm and Ella was born at 10:08pm. The nurse said if my water would have broke at home, Dustin would of delivered the baby! Maybe one day I'll learn to listen! Everything went perfect and I couldn't be more grateful. This labor was all me and I was very happy to not have to have pitocin to help because those contractions are painful! We are so happy to have little Ella in our family and she is such a sweet baby. Kenna loves her "baby sister" and has been a great little helper!
