Ella Hope Dittmer is here!!

After many many many months of waiting and more waiting the day has finally arrived. Our new baby sister has been born! Praise the Lord for a safe delivery! Mother and Ella are both doing wonderful. Ella Hope Dittmer was born today at 1:42 pm she weighs 7 lbs 4.4 oz and was 19-1/2 inches long. And she is absolutely adorable! (If I do say so myself...which I definitely do!) But I'll let you be the judge of that...So without any further a due here are some pictures.
