Hear ye, Hear ye....Our baby girl has finally arrived!
Baby Elizabeth Ann Parker has blessed us with her presence and arrived Saturday afternoon at 2:50 p.m. weighing a mere 7 lbs. 3 oz. and only 20 inches long. She decided to come after three nights of contractions - off and on - and decided that in order to come out, she needed to break the water barrier at 3:00 a.m. Soon after, I woke Jared and told him it was time to go and his response was, "Are you sure?" We headed off to the hospital - thankfully I have a thoughtful sister who had kidnapped my children and taken them to Las Vegas for Madison's baptism so no annoying phone call needed to be made this time. When we arrived they quickly admitted me, monitored the contractions, and waited...and waited...and waited...until the contractions became strong enough that I couldn't handle them any more. CALL for the Epidural man! After that, I could talk and as Jared says, I became human again. After that, it was 4 hours and I could feel it was time to push and gets this baby out! The doctor arrived and out she came after only 4 pushes! Jared cut the cord and we saw our precious baby girl Elizabeth. Everything else went smoothly and all are doing well. She was received happily by two siblings that love and adore her...maybe a little too much at times. Cole loves being an older brother and thinks the baby is pretty cool and loves to hold her hands when she gets a little upset. And Kate...well, let's just say she thinks Elizabeth is a little dolly and can't get enough of the baby and her binky.
Kate just loves to hold the baby and calls her "baby Lillibeth." It's a mouth full for a two year old!
Our sweet baby girl - the nurses had fun putting bows in her hair and designing her name with pretty papers and decorations.
Cole wondered how the baby came out of my tummy, and now he just explains to everyone that she came out because we pushed really hard.
Kate and her "dolly."
We are lucky to have Wendy's mom here taking care of the whole family. Kate and Cole are getting quite attached to their Grandma. Thank goodness we have her for a whole two weeks. Even though she's only a few days old, it seems like Elizabeth has always been a part of our family.

I've been dying to see her!! We loved all of the pictures! I can imagine Kate's excitement with her new "doll". Your children are all adorable and we are glad that everyone in your household is healthy and happy. I wish I could be there to help but I know you are in good hands with Mama Dunyon.
She's so pretty! Glad everyone is doing well. Can't wait to see her.
Congratulations! She is a very pretty baby!

Congrats Parker Family! You've added another beautiful girl to the clan...and I must say she looks just like me. :) You did good.
You are totally in trouble for posting and not resting - you know that right?! But I love the pictures, I will send the ones I have, and you forgot to say how good she smells and how sweet she sounds and how just all over precious she is (especially at 3:00a.m. (wink wink)) We truely love her and the girls ask to see her everyday and Nathan thanks Heavenly Father for her every night. We love our new little Cinderella - otherwise known as Miss Elizabeth Parker!
Yay Welcome Lillybeth! I think you have a nickname for her after all! I love it.
Congrats. She is completely beautiful. Emma is tickled that you named your baby after her (Elisabeth is her middle name).
Congratulations you guys! She is just beautiful! Hopefully is quickly learns that 3:00 is not the best time to get attention! We are so excited for you and all the fun things that a new baby brings. (as well as all the other things:))
