We are excited to share that on August 29th at exactly 5:00pm, our daughter, Eleanor Jane Bowling, was born! Weighing in at 7 lbs 8 oz and measuring 21 inches, she has 10 perfect little toes and 10 perfect little fingers!
Overall, my entire labor and delivery story is quite short. Everything went so smooth and progressed surprisingly quick (for a first-time mom). From the moment my water broke to delivery, only 9.5 hours passed. Eleanor is already very much like both her parents...no patience! :) If I had to do it over again, there really isn't a single thing I would change! Our nursing staff was amazing as well as the anesthesiologist and doctor.
Dustin and I snapped this picture shortly after I got my epidural and was feeling better- last picture of just the two of us!
She was so alert right after being born, her big blue eyes were absolutely stunning!
Probably my favorite picture from the day! As soon as they put her on my chest she was just staring at me with such love in her eyes! The feeling running through my heart is one I'll never forget- it truly felt like she knew I was her mama and was looking at me, telling me I did quite alright. :)
Of course once we got settled into our postpartum room, I had to snap a few hospital pictures to remember the hospital visit and how our precious our angel looked in her hospital beanie.
We are now nearing Eleanor's 2-week mark in the world and words can't describe how that makes me feel! This little lady makes me so happy and grateful to be her mama, I can't imagine my life being any different. Seeing Dustin talk to her and smother her with kisses is probably the absolute cutest thing I have ever seen; I'm constantly counting my lucky stars.
Eleanor Jane, you are so loved!
