Love Begets Elise Lee Tuan

Our babiest girl arrived to open, loving arms.  Yolanda spent the evening of Labor Day laboring!  She had been having “mild” contractions on Monday night and by Tuesday morning at about 2:45 am, her contractions were severe enough that she couldn’t sleep.  We headed to the hospital and by about 7:45 am, she was complete…ready to push. 

 

The “new” practice at our hospital is to allow the mom to reach down and bring the baby to her body immediately after entering the world.  Here, Elise is just seconds old.

 

A few hours later, the nurses and doctors do their thing.  Elise was too tired to object.

Baby. Foot.

 

Big brother and big sis welcomed their babiest sister with hugs, kisses, and head pats.  They were so sad when we had to take Elise away from them that Emma cried.

Now, Allan need sleee…eep.

    Hey guys! Beautiful baby! The name is beautiful too. Kyannea’s middle name is Elyse except of course it has a “y” instead of an “i”. I couldn’t object to a name like that. Both baby and mommy are beautiful.

    Hey Allan,

    You’ve gotta be exhausted right now, and I imagine you’re either sleeping or wishing you were sleeping! ;-) Those are some really sweet pictures, and she’s adorable! Have fun and enjoy this time — I kinda miss those days!
