This is Elizabeth on the scale. She weighed 6 lbs 15 oz.
Elizabeth right after she was born. If I didn't KNOW the picture was taken so recently, I'd be certain it was Philip.
Pat took this photo in the operating room, right after Elizabeth was born, and the staff cleaned her up. The doctor hadn't even closed me up yet. C-sections are a little scary.
Here I am in the hospital room with Elizabeth. Sweet baby, and I had to force the staff to allow her to stay in my room. Not the greatest hospital stay, but that's another story.
Here's Pat holding the baby in our room. This picture was taken the day she was born. Poor Pat, he had a rough day too, taking care of twins and being there for me. Notice he didn't even have time to shave. The day before, I preformatted the blog for him, and set virtually everything to publish automatically. It was so sweet of him to fill in the blanks at my request. We really appreciated having help from one of my best friends, Meg. She allowed Pat the time to come see me. Thank you, Meg!

Congratulations on Elizabeth's arrival! She looks so sweet and both of you look so proud!
Can't wait to meet her and see the boys!
Love,
Sandy :)
So happy for all of you! She is adorable. Much love to all.
Wow, I've missed so much of your blog! I'm ashamed--my baby is 7 weeks old and I can't keep up with *your* blog, much less mine! Anyway, loved the pictures, and that was so sweet of Meg to help you guys so Pat could be at the hospital.
I was there and remember Pat's busy day!! I was STUNNED by how much both of you have to do every day. Twins are not TWICE the work. MORE!! You guys do all of that and make sure to blog and keep all of us satisfied with pictures and updates. AMAZING!
Actually I was mostly just scared and wanting the doctor to sew me up and leave me alone. Pat was excited though. Melissa, I can't believe our babies are only 7 weeks (or less) apart. Annie and the boys are close in age too. Meg, you are so sweet. Thank you so much for helping us. It would have been really difficult without you, and I LOVED having you here!
I'm with Meg-I'm amazed at all you and Pat can accomplish with two year old twins! We can just about not keep up with Annie--can't imagine if there were two of her!!
Keeping up with the boys is definitely more difficult with our newest addition. I think we'll get into a routine, and it will get easier. That's what I keep telling myself. :)
Melissa, you wouldn't believe how dedicated to the children these Charbonneaus are. I can't believe they have time to brush their hair much less blog and send Happy Birthday wishes etc to everyone else.
Sonia, I expect another invitation soon!!
