Ella!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies & Gentlemen,
The Andrews family is proud to present its latest addition. Ella Mae Andrews was born Monday, December 1st 2008 at 11:05 PM. She measured 20" long and tipped the scales at 7 lbs 9 oz.

Ella made us a little nervous at first. She struggled to pink up completely and the receiving nurse was threatening to put her in the NICU.

Mom kissing little Ella for the first time.

She really reminds us of Maddie as a newborn.

Grandma & Grandpa brought Maddie by before the birth to give Lauren a pep talk and tell her that she could do it.

Maddie loves baby Ella. She wore a shirt that said "Big Sisters Rock!"

Yes. The proud dad.

Sweet kisses from grandma.


Awake and alert for a picture w/ grandpa. We are glad that mother and baby are doing well and will post more picture in the next few days.
