Introducing Ellie Kate!

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Elizabeth "Ellie" Kate Rogers!

Our precious Ellie Kate

The statistics

Birthdate and Time: September 22nd, 2013 at 8:39 am Saudi time (12:39 am CST)
Place: Saad Hospital, Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Weight: 3.145 kg, or 6 lb 15 oz
Height: 50 cm, or 19.75"

So far Ellie has been a pretty typical sweet and cuddly newborn. She has had a great temperament and rarely cried at all while in the hospital. Our first night home from the hospital was a little rough as she was not happy sleeping anywhere but in our arms. Guess we can't complain too much about that, but Lucy as a newborn was happy to sleep anywhere so we weren't prepared for it!



Lucy is a very proud big sister. She loves her "baby sissy" and is happy to help mommy and daddy take care of her in her own little ways. I am sure reality hasn't set in for her yet that this whole family doesn't revolve around just her anymore.

Stay tuned for a more detailed report on our experience having a baby in a Saudi Arabian hospital!

  2. Love reading your blog (friend of your mom here). Congratulations on your precious new little one! And also thanks for the mushroom broth you posted last month. I haven't tried it, yet, but I will. I've been wanting to make a tasty mushroom broth, and now I have no excuse not to prepare one!
