Her is our new little girl! Elle Margaret was born on April 2nd at noon. Hans and Elle are exactly two years and one day apart. These are pictures that we took while at Lake Forest Hospital. Well everything went well. Kari was in labor for seven hours which was much better than the 18 plus hours with Hans. Although since she had to be induced she couldn't get out of bed, so she had to lay there and just deal with the pain. After four hours of labor she got the epidural. Although it didn't work so the had to come back and do it again. While in the hospital Elle only cried a few times. She just slept and ate. We couldn't figure out who she looks like, but we kept getting told how beautiful she is. She has a very rosy complexion which makes her look so healthy and pretty. The person who took the picture said she hasn't seen a baby with her beautiful coloring.

On our way home.
Waiting for the epidural to wear off. It took four hours after labor before Kari could walk.
