It’s been a whirlwind of a day, but now that things are settling down, I thought I’d post the best pictures of the day.
It was a beautiful day in Bellevue today, crystal clear skies all day. This was the view from our first room, where Heidi was prepped for the surgery, and Eleanor spent the first hour after her arrival.
We were the first family to use this room since it was recently remodeled. It is very nice, but the staff had a hard time finding all the supplies!
After we moved into the long-term recovery room, I got time to take more pictures of the beaming new mom and baby.
The Browns were able to come spend a couple hours at the hospital with us today.
Here’s Eleanor in a rare non-blanketed moment.
Feet!
As the day wound down, our freinds Ryan and Tori stopped by. They’re due with their first child in just a few months!
Tommorow is another big day… Charlotte will come to visit in the afternoon! More coverage on this blog and the Twitter feed as time allows and news happens.

Meet Eleanor Marie Brown, the newest member of the Brown family. Eleanor was born this morning at 9:28 am. She weighs 6 lbs 6 ozs, and is 18 3/4 inches long.
OK, now that we have the vitals out of the way, some thoughts. First she looks A LOT like Charlotte did at that point in her life. Her cry is totally different though, which I think is cool. She’s been awfully quiet so far, but I imagine that will change over the next few days. The surgery seemed to go really well (I can’t say for sure since I wasn’t the one operated on!), and Heidi seems to be handling everything really well.
We’ll be at the hospital until at least Friday, but they have free wi-fi, so I’ll try to make a few more posts over the next few days. Thanks for all the nice emails we’ve already gotten, and we look forward to introducing Eleanor to everyone!

If all goes as planned, we’re about 24 hours way from meeting the newest addition to our family! Early tomorrow, we’ll set out against the traditional March snow (right) and make our way to the hospital.
Now you may be asking yourself, how will I find out all the exciting news? I’m glad you asked, because that’s what this post is all about.
The first wave of news will come in the little box on the left hand side of our page called “Pat’s Mini Blog”. That box is connected to my Twitter feed, and I’ll be making occasional posts there over the next few days. That’s probably where the vital statistics will be posted, along with the first announcement of a name. For those unfamiliar with Twitter, I can post to that box with a text from my phone.
Later in the day as time allows, I’ll post more to this blog, and hopefully be able to add photos pretty quickly, and maybe even video. We’ll just have to see how the day progresses.
Anyway, we’re all looking forward to meeting this new one. We hope you’ll enjoy reading all about her!

We ate out at the local Monogolian Grill tonight and our fortune cookies for all three of us were very appropriate!

Charlotte is rocking this awesome dress that our friend Enga found in Spokane. I had to spend a night in Spokane on my trip over the weekend, so Eric delivered it when we met up Friday night. I have to admit, if I had known we wouldn’t be able to get great kids clothes like this in Seattle, we may not have made the move!
