Eloise Claire Vail is here!

We are beyond excited to announce the arrival of our beautiful baby girl Eloise Claire Vail. She arrived today at 6:40am - an early riser like her Mommy. I'll update you all on the last 2 days worth of contraction activities and multiple hospital visits (don't worry, it's not that dramatic:) once we get settled. Everything ended up being perfect - thanks to a fantastic epidural and contractions that dilated me enough on my own that I didn't need a c-section.

Ellie weighed 6lbs 9oz and she's in the nursery now getting her length measured. As you can imagine, we're a little biased but we will say, she's the cutest little nugget ever! Thanks to everyone for your love and support. Ellie can't wait to meet you all!

Love, Allison and Mike

She's very cute! Don't forget to take some of those receiving blankets - CMC has the best and you can't buy them in the stores!
