Introducing Ella Rose

Awwwww, how cute, huh? This is my cousin Lindsay's and her husband Jason's new addition to the family, Ella Rose. She's being held by her big brother, 3-year-old Cole. Lindsay's twin sister Shannon is due in a few weeks so it's very exciting for my aunt and uncle, to have two new grandbabies, along with Cole. Neither Lindsay or Shannon wanted to know what they were having so I was DYING to find out. We all thought Linds was having a boy. She did, too. It was a wonderful surprise. Now I can't wait to see what Shannon and her husband Ryan are having. I hope it's a "she," a built-in BFF for Ella.

Shannon told me that when she brought Cole into Lindsay's hospital room to meet his new baby sister, Lindsay was nursing Ella. Cole looked up at his mom and said, "Mom, are you still going to be my mom?" Shannon said she just cried and Lindsay got teary, too...and it wasn't as if Cole said it to get attention. The little stinker just wanted to know.

Ella Rose was 19-1/2 inches and 8 pounds, 7 ounces. I may have to head to the Twin Cities for a work-related trip this week or next and to be certain, I'll be stopping in and seeing Ella for my baby fix. :)

What, so a person has to give birth for you to come visit them in the Cities??

:) It helps. You could have an incurable disease, too. I'd visit you then. I promise. :)
