DH: William John Ellison (27) (Architect)
DW: Kristen Mae Ellison (25) (Special Education Teacher)
DS: Gabriel James Ellison (7)
DD: Charlotte Rosa Ellison (0)Its been one year since you and William have gotten married and you have just welcomed your first baby-a girl! Were you trying for a baby? How did you tell your husband and other family members? Did you find out the gender? Any name clashes? What was your birth experience like? Describe life with Baby Ellison.
Also, how is big brother Gabe??After only about 3 months of marriage, I find out I'm pregnant! It was a total shock since we weren't trying. I called William at work to tell him, he was so surprised! We were both so happy, we knew we wanted more children from the start! We both sat Gabe down and told him he was going to be a big brother! He didn't really understand at first, but it finally sank in for him and he was definetely excited!
I gave my parents little baby shoes that had a note attached that said "Congrats, Grandparents!" They were thrilled as well.We were on edge about finding ou the gender. We decided to find out, but keep it a surprise! We planned on keeping the name a surprise too!
When it came to names, William and I had completely different tastes! He liked more popular names like Emily, Alexandra, ect. While I liked more traditional names like Victoria, Charlotte, ect. We compromised, and I picked out the first name while he picked out the middle. I picked Charlotte, because it was one of my favorites and William did seem to like it. Rosa was his grandmother's middle name who had meant a lot to him.We both agreed we really wanted to have a natural childbirth. So when after two weeks the baby wouldn't come, we had to get creative. My crazy mother suggested that I do some exercising! I personally thought she was crazy! I, a woman 42 weeks pregnant, was NOT going to be seen in public exercising! She suggested that I use and old exercise tape. I decided that I'd TRY, knowing it wouldn't work. i pulled out my old "aerobic dance party!" tape and put it in. I was exausted when it was over, but it worked! An our after, I went into labor! Since we decided against pain-killers during the birth, it was very painful! But well worth it! Charlotte Rose Ellison was born happy and healthy! We are now a happy family of 4! Gabe adores his little sister! We are all thrilled about our new addition to the family!
