Eliana is here!

Eliana Mei-En (美恩) Yuen arrived on Monday, July 14 at 12:30 am after not wanting to come out for a long time! Besides being a week overdue, Mommy was in labor for 30 hours. Mommy is tired but resting and Eliana is taking turns between pooping and sleeping. And crying, of course.

We spent a little extra time at the hospital to let Emily recover more. The staff were wonderful and taught clueless Elvin how to change his first diaper.

Eliana was 7 pounds and 10 ounces, and 20 inches long. Her favorite food is whatever we feed her. Her favorite activity is either eating or sleeping and her least favorite thing is getting her bottom wiped with a cold baby wipe.

By the way, Eliana's middle name is also her Chinese name. "Mei" means beauty and "En" means grace.
If you live in the area, let us know if you want to stop by sometime, we'd love to introduce you to her.
