This morning, at 5:36AM we finally got to meet our little girl, Elsie Jennifer Waters.  The middle name was my choosing, she shares it with her mother.  You all know how special Jamie is and this is my way of honoring her, and giving our daughter something to live up to.  The name Elsie is an oldie but a goodie, it means "consecrated to God."  Jamie and I had been struggling with finding a name, and as we stole a morning together at Starbucks, we were both struck by the name as it was called out by a barista.  We both sort of looked at each other and knew this was the name we wanted for our little girl.  The monicer also has personal significance as it is the name of my beloved grandmother, a strong and beautiful woman who is a real inspiration to me. (We’ll share more about her in the coming days and months)  In regards to size, our little Elsie is of the "venti" variety, weighing in at a whopping 8 pounds 2.3 ounces, she’s a full 21 inches long.  It’s no wonder Jamie was in agony!  Finally free of her little mamacita, Jamie is recovering nicely and looks forward to coming home and sharing more about out little girl and the imprint she’s already leaving on our hearts.  Keep Jamie in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers, we thank you all for your well wishes.
