We are thrilled to introduce Ellerie Eve Cripe.

Labor was long, humbling
and tough, but thankfully, mama is recovering well and baby is healthy
as can be.

    That’s what I said when Elise posted the baby’s name would start with e.
    EEP! It’s the Cripes!
    I had a boyfriend in college with those initials and EEP was one of his nicknames LOL

    Many, many congratulations from the UK too! Been looking forward to hearing your darling girl had arrived – such happy news! Was the name inspired by e.e. cummings at all? You could write her name with small rather than capital letters like he did to be uber-cool! Anyway, it’s the sweetest name & she looks like the sweetest girl. ENJOY EVERY MOMENT!

    Congratulations!!! Labor is long and tough… And I love that you added “humbling”. Isn’t that the truth?! I have 3 kids, and with each one – I loved pregnancy and hated… I’ll say it… hated getting them out. It was beyond hard. In fact, the first one did me in so badly I didn’t even hold her until the 2nd day. Which is terrible, awful, but it did a number on me mentally – that I was definitely not prepared for. I say all that ONLY because its nice to know you’re not the only one sometimes. Ellerie is GORGEOUS. Her name is BEAUTIFUL. And she is going to bless you a billion times over as you fall in love with her even more deeply every day. May you recover well and have a lovely time together – the three of you – over the next several days. God bless.
