We're home from the hospital...feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and blessed by this new little guy :) Blogging will be light to nonexistent for a while, but here are a few more photos to tide you over...
Whooo hooo! Awesome job, Amy! Welcome sweet baby Elijah.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Welcome to the world, Elijah!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! He's a cutie!!! Thanks for posting the announcement and pictures :)
ReplyDeleteDon't delay in blogging for too long! We want to hear the birth story!
Welcome home Kannel family! Looking forward to meeting Elijah one day.
ReplyDeleteLove, Sandra
He's adorable! Congratulations and I hope you post the birth story (eventually ;*)) on GCM. Praying that God blesses your precious family.
ReplyDeleteAww! Amy, he is so adorable! Try and get some rest. I will be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteHow can you stand all the cuteness? What a doll! :)
ReplyDeleteLove you, Amy! I'm proud of you!
Oh!!! He is SO beautiful!! I know you must be so glad he's finally here. I've just got to say:
ReplyDelete1. REST - I know you hear it from everybody but... when there's dishes and laundry, people to talk to places to go and everything else! Remember that he's going to grow up SO fast. Looking back, it feels like they are only babies for about thirty seconds!!
2. Take lots of pictures. You can NEVER have too many! They change SO fast!! Just try to set up an organization system for them so that a year or two down the road when you're doing an album or whatever you're not looking at a photo thinking "was he four-months or five in this photo?" You think you'll never forget, but really, you will.
Congratulations! He's beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, congratulations. Hope he doesn't keep you up to many nights. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you all, you're in my prayers.
A.T.H.
Beautiful baby!! I thought it was a boy. You looked like you had a basketball under your shirt, not round all over like I was with my girls. Congrats!! Enjoy him while he's small. They grow sooooo fast!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh. He is a gift.

ReplyDeleteTravis
BIG congrats from all us here!! So happy to hear your news. May Elijah never remember a day he didn't know the Lord!
ReplyDeleteRest often, Amy!
Love, The Parkers
I can't belive I have waited this long to check out your site. I should have known I would find pictures here! He is just a bundle of love. Hope you are doing well. I heard the news the day he was born through Melissa. We are so happy for you and Steve.
ReplyDeleteAmy, he is gorgious! I can't berleive I've been so long in visiting your site. (My sidebar went down and without it I am toast and if no one comments on mine I forget the links.)
ReplyDeleteOH, he looks so alert for being so new!!! Love the name, too. ANd pray you are enjoying motherhood. If not, you're not alone. It's a blessing but sometimes you have to stretch to believe it when you're sleep deprived and hormonal.
