Penny for your thoughts

Penelope Louise Fisher
I'm not going to write too much, but I did have a baby this morning.
We went to the hospital at 12:30, and then at 9:43 AM, Penelope Louise Fisher popped into the world. She was 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and 20 inches long. Maybe I'll give more details later, but for now (and especially for my family) here are some pictures.


This is how big I was before getting admitted. We're lucky my friend Diana from Utah requested a final belly picture. We took one earlier, but found that I had left the camera's memory card at home. So I walked the halls while Kevin ran home (2 blocks away)



Umm, Chelsea's making me blog. This is a baby. Isn't she cute.




Gotta say, newborns aren't super-pretty. Chelsea is still stealing the show.

Though, when its your own baby, they are astoundingly beautiful.





Beautiful newborn!







Note from Kevin: Super-proud dad here! Little Penny (Elisa says it should be Penny-bean) makes me smile. Real big. I just keep thinking about how to protect her and let her find her wings at the same time. Typical dad stuff. I know she'll bring all of us joy.


Chelsea always impresses me. She treated me like a prince while going through an incredibly difficult time. She also exuded beauty the whole time, as you can see. Hats off to (in my not-so-humble opinion) the best woman in the world.
