Welcome Imogen!

The newest member of the McElroy family, Imogen Norah, arrived in the world on Friday, September 14th, at 11:33am. She weighed 6 lbs, 5 oz, and was 19 1/4 inches long. She came fast and furious, after 10 hours of slow labor and 1 1/2 hours of intense labor for Mama. Here she is at one hour old.


Imogen came home the next day to adoring big brother Elliot and has been kept good company this week by Mama, Papa, and Aunt Kate, and several friends and family members who have stopped by to meet her. So far, she spends a lot of time like this:



Poor Elliot was sick with a cold all week, but now he can finally get close enough to enjoy his new little sister.


Mama will be on her own with the two kiddos for the first time on Monday, so stay tuned for the adventures that are sure to come!

She's cute! B, this is quite a blog site. Must admit I have never blogged before so this should be fun. Thanks for the photos and comments. Looking forward to lots more and can't wait to see all of you!
Much love, Mom (Nana)

So very super cute! She reminded me so much of you, Brittney, when she was making that funny face in the video. Not that you make funny faces - I don't know why, she just looked exactly like you. Aww. Enjoy these first few weeks. Call this week if you need reinforcements.
Love, Kerry

Never fear! Nona is standing by for Elliot play time and rocking Miss Idgie. You all know what Thomas & Brittney are terrific parents. They have seamlessly brought the new little sister to the fold. Elliot was ready with kisses & hugs. Good Job Everyone! Nona/Mom/Nancy
