We are thrilled to introduce Ellerie Eve Cripe.

Labor was long, humbling

as can be.

    I’m so HAPPY for all of you! Having your hubby home just days before was perfect but to have him there for all the “I THINK THIS IS IT” is priceless….. I’ve read your blog since you started this journey and I have to say, you truly inspire, in many ways sweet Elise. Take care of yourself and drink up your new life as three. Congratulations to you all. Sending warm thoughts and love!

    Ditto to all the above….I love her name , so unique. Like her, an original, never created before production. Welcome!! Now you are a family of 3 !
    I know it would have been okay if Paul didn’t make it home, but I am so glad he had a chance to see you in the final stages of your pregnancy and share your birth experience.
    A lifelong memory for men to participate and for you and Ellerie to know he was there.
    And now you won’t be able to imagine a day when she wasn’t in your life.
    Happy hugs to all.
