Introducing...

It's a GIRL!! Elizabeth "Ellie" Marie Giere was born at 6:55 am Sunday, Aug. 27, 2006. She weighed a whopping 9 pounds, 12 ounces and was 20 inches long.

Long story short, my water broke at 5:15am, we got to the hospital around 6am, after begging for an epidural and realizing that it was too late to get one, I "decided" to push her out at 6:55! That's 1 hour and 40 minutes from start to finish! Not what I was expecting, but in the end, it was all worth it...

Everything has gone so well that we already came home this afternoon. Hannah LOVES her little sister and is already showering her with kisses.

She's a beauty and we couldn't be happier.

Proud Daddy


Another angel


Keeping warm


Ready for home
