She finally arrived! Ada Elizabeth Harris was born at 1:42 am on New Year's Eve morning, 9 days early. Sticking with our tradition of using family names, we named her Ada after my great great grandma on my dad's side, and Elizabeth after my great great grandma on my mom's side, both very neat women.
She weighed in at 8 lb 2 oz, my heaviest baby thus far, and is 19 1/2 inches long. Notice her chubby cheeeks and double chin.
The two sisters have had a chance to get acquainted. When somebody else is holding Ada, Jennabee says, "Hey, that's MY baby!"
I'm so happy to have her in our family. I wonder everytime I give birth if I can really love a new baby as much as I love the children I already have. As soon as they put the baby in my arms and I hear that first tiny cry, there is no doubt; my heart just swells with love for my new child. Welcome to our family Ada, we all love you!

Oh... I wish I could hold her. If only Jennabee would share! She is absolutely beautiful! How YOU could carry an 8 pound baby is beyond me, but you did it! And what a celebration it must have been at the hospital. Yeah for being born in 2007 so you can count her on your taxes!
