Hi Girls,

Sorry I didn't drop by sooner... had my baby girl on Sunday 1/16. It was a rocky labor and deliver that ended in a C-section and I'm still processing everything that happened, but my baby girl is here and beautiful.

Here is a link to some pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/runningdoyle/sets/72157625881073970/

  • Hi L!  She really is a beauty!  Thanks again for sharing your story and your photos.  Amazing :) 

    Can I ask who was the (very talented) photographer for a lot of those early Ellie shots? 

    Congratulations again, she's awesome.  You're a rockstar mama!

  • What a beauty!!! There is one of you both that you captioned "Exhausted but so in love" and she has a little baby faux-hawk, it's SO stinkin cute! I love her name and her squishy little face! You both look so in love with her. Congrats again!
  • Lovely pictures... She is beautiful and has so much personality already! Can't wait to hear your birth story. I hope you are recovering well at home and getting lots of help!

    A friend from college who lives in Roseville and is trying to start up a photography business. He's done a few other bumpies family photos (Mutely and Mystery) He also did my maternity photos.

  • Congratulations!!! She's perfect.

    I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm literally in tears looking at all those amazing pictures. You guys make such a beautiful family, and your daughter is just so, so beautiful. 

  • Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful. I love all her pictures.
  • Your friend did an amazing job capturing all of the emotion that goes into childbirth.  Ellie is so beautiful, congrats!!!!!!
  • Congratulations!  She is adorable.  You're very lucky to have such amazing pictures, and even in the delivery room!  Very cool.  Love the shot of Ellie's footprint on John's arm, and the one of you looking at John while he's facing the camera w/Ellie.
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

    Ugh, I'm a total liar. The photos in the OR, etc were taken by our doula... who rocked btw if you are interested :) My friend took newborn photos.
