After much anticipation, Eleanora (Ellie) Rose Weiss was born at 9:03 am on July 24th. We were all excited to meet her and hold her in our arms. After her first feeding, Ellie weighed in at 8 lbs, 2oz and was 20.5 inches long.
Ellie was surrounded by love at the hospital with all of her grandparents and aunts and uncles there to welcome her.
Willem was shy at first with Ellie but then jumped at the chance to hold her. He soon became fascinated by the fact that she doesn't have teeth and that she drinks Mommy's Milk. He likes to narrate her day, "Ellie needs nap, Ellie needs clean diaper..." He has been a BIG helper and loves giving her kisses and laying next to her in bed in the morning.
Ellie was a little irritated when we began getting her ready to go home, but as soon as we put on her pink dress, she immediately calmed down. Pink might just be her favorite color... Time will tell. 
In Willem's words: "Ellie home".
