Time to head home!

They dressed me up in this ridiculous outfit. I look like an angry gingerbread man.

I wore my special "it's a girl" booties!

I love my daddy.

Emma meets Ella! Welcome home!

Emma checking out Ella. Emma keeps looking at us like - um - is this thing really here to stay?

Emma frequently checks to make sure Ella is okay. She hasn't actually climbed in the bassinet...yet.

Day 2 in the hospital

We had a private room for our stay in the hospital, which was great for resting and dad was allowed to stay and help out as well!

Christmas...And the Home Stretch

Yes, we've only got a few weeks left until we get to meet our little girl! Here are a few pictures of the Christmas festivities - and Erin's ever-expanding belly - to tide you over until the big day arrives. We hope you all had a very merry holiday season and wish you the best in 2009!
