We have a new nephew!!
Happy Birthday to Grant Carson Ely
Born March 2, 2011 at 12:33pm
7 pounds, 13 ounces and 20 inches long
Rachel ended up going the full 40 weeks with this pregnancy. On Monday, she had contractions all day that were bad enough that I took her to Riverside thinking she might have the baby, but even though they were pretty intense, they weren't dilating her. How frustrating. She was ready to be done, but Grant must have been nice and cozy! On Tuesday, I took Gavin for the day so she could have some time to rest, in anticipation of the scheduled induction on Wednesday morning. Gavin loved his morning at MOPS (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers) (they have a program for kids while the moms eat and chat) and his afternoon with Aunt Julie. I had to drag him home! Fortunately for Rachel, Grant took no time in getting here once the induction started!
Rachel invited us down to meet Grant, so we got some pictures later in the day after he was born. Hannah was quite excited to meet Baby Grant. She was so excited that when we talked about the fact that Aunt Rachel was having a baby today that Hannah told me she was putting on her "hospital clothes" and she went and got dressed. Hannah was dressed and waiting to go to the hospital by 9am! I had to explain a number of times that we weren't going until (a) the baby arrived and (b) we were invited. Hannah definitely enjoys babies and walked in the hospital like she owned the place! Here are some of our pictures:
You can't see it in the pictures, but he's got curly sandy blond hair

Proud Papa, Ryan
I think he has Gavin's mouth and chin....he's definitely got some Ely features, but he doesn't totally look like Gavin
We're so glad that he's here! Grandma Woolley was sure excited to meet the little guy!
