Our New Addition

After her long awaited appearance we are pleased to announce the birth of our beautiful little lady:

Elizabeth Lee Crowther
Born: June 13, 2011
At: 1:22pm CDT
Weighing: 7 lbs
Measuring: 19 inches long

The Sorted Tale: this little girl was sure in a hurry to get here! I woke up at about 4am feeling rather unwell but, to my knowledge not having contractions just pregnant and miserable. At about 5:30am I started having contractions and by 6am they were strong coming five minutes apart. Tyler convinced me it was time to go to the hospital so after a shower (I had to shave my legs!) and drying my hair we set off for the hospital. As unexpectedly as they began my contractions stopped, yet my doctor said to admit me so at 7am dilated to a 4 we set in for what we thought would be a long day. Little did when know when they broke my water a little over an hour later at a 5 that by lunch time our little darling would be here (sooner if we hadn't had to wait for the doctor).


We love our little miss Elizabeth more than words can express and we are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for her safe, healthy arrival and for the special addition she is to our little family.

She is the center of our world these days and I am sure that will be the continuing theme from now to forever.
