There is much more of a fuss taking home a baby girl than a baby boy apparently. The outfit was previously decided upon, but the bow was a whole different thing all together. We tried on 3 different bows, five or six times.

Welcome Home Eliana!
So that baby finally ended up with a name. After much deliberation, and the best of 7 paper-rock-scissors, we decided upon Eliana Heck.

Bow #1
Bow #2
Bow # 3
The winner was bow #1, and accompanying outfit.
Kimberly told me that every baby needed to have a "Going Home" outfit, and the "traditional" baby in the car-seat picture, but when I tried to find these pictures for Kenny, I couldn't find anything...
Kenny really wasn't sure how to take it all in. He mulled it over a strawberry,
...and then a pickle...
...and then eventually settled on ignoring her for the most part and played on the computer instead.
The house is busy, with parents who have come to help us out, and curious uncles wanting to lend a hand. Kimberly is getting rest when she can, and Eliana poops, cries, sleeps, and eats. We're excited to have this new member of our family, and anxiously await all the new and fun adventures the Heck family is in for. Thank you for your prayers, thank you for your phone calls, thank you for the support, and a special thanks to the Stirland family for helping us out at 1:30am, we really owe you for that.

She's adorable! We love the "going home" outfit and who made the cute bows?! Don't worry about Kenny, he'll quickly learn to love his little sister and will want to hold her all the time. Mark my words.
She is so cute! I think she looks like Kimberly. Hope all is going well. Kimberly- everyone asked about you at water aerobics and were excited to hear that you had your baby.
Congratulations! She is beautiful!! I can't wait to hold her. :)
Kim she is soooo pretty. Girls are so much fun! Please let us know when you will need an extra hand.
Hooray! I was out of town and I come home to fun news! Congrats, she's darling. And as a mother of 3 girls- the fun has only just begun! Wait till she gets hair! ;)
