The night Elli was born we were exhausted! We couldn't even think about baby names, we were beat. We went to bed by 8 pm. Elli did very well overnight and woke up the next morning with much more energy. The next morning we were confident that her name was Elliot "Elli" Cascade Cook. I was feeling well and Elli was doing well. We had to wait for 24 hour from birth for blood tests and a bilirubin level, but then were released from the hospital.
It was a cloudy cool day. Grandma Weis awaited us at home with Madison and Cooper, our fur-children, in the backyard to let us enter without excited dogs running at us. The dogs did great. We had an uneventful first night at home. It wasn't until the following nights that Elli decided she wanted to be held at all times and refused to sleep laying flat or out of our arms. We were even able to go on our first family "adventure" with a walk around the neighborhood day 4 of life...I know HUGE adventure!
My first bath.
