Ella Marie LeFors

Just wanted to share with everyone that Ella Marie LeFors was born on Thursday, January 15. She was born on my dad's birthday =) Everytime there is a new baby born in the family my dad drives to Lafayette to get pizza from Alesis' for everyone. The BEST pizza everrr! So, it was really sweet of my dad to do this on his birthday. Thanks, dad =)

Anyways, she was 7lbs and 18 inches long. Stefan and I are truly blessed. We were debating between the name Londyn and Ella for the longest time. We didn't name her until Friday because we couldn't decide. We have both liked Londyn for a longgggg time and then we recently began to LOVE the name Ella. Ella was my grandmother's name who passed away in November. Knowing how wonderful of a woman she was we knew we had to go with Ella. Then, Marie is my mother's middle name and I have always wanted to use that for my little girls middle name. So, either way it was going to be Londyn Marie or Ella Marie. Soooo that is how we got our little girls name =)

Ella is doing wonderful. It is so nice having her home. We feel truly blessed to have our boy and girl. Luke is being such a GREAT big brother. He is always there to help us out. He really likes to burp his sister =) Ella is now 5 days old and last night she had a nice stretch of sleep. She slept from 11:30 until 5 this morning. NICE! So far she has been a wonderful baby...but it has only been 4 nights. Ha! Hopefully it continues. Well, here is an announcement they had on EKS.com and some pictures of our sweet little Ella. She is so tiny compared to Luke =)

BABY GIRL JOINS LeFORS' FAMILY HUDDLE

1/16/2009

(Edmonton) Eskimo QB Stefan LeFors and his wife, Joy, welcomed a baby girl on Thursday. Ella Marie LeFors made her debut at 11:24am on January 15, weighing in at 7 lbs and measuring 18 inches long. Ella is named after Joy’s grandmother who passed away in November. She joins big brother, Luke, who turned two in December. The LeFors spend the off-season in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Congrats!

Hi sweetie, your lil girl is so beautiful and glad you had your familia there.  Now welcome familia of 4.  Maybe the new name can be Joy,Ella and the boys?   Or JoElSteLu combo of the names.. I am bad with making up those names.  

Thanks for blogging and are you breastfeeding?  I am still breastfeeding Stefan-his nickname just letting you know.   I love her middle name and my middle name is Maria.   I hope the next baby we will have is a girl.  Praying for that.  You and my sister are blessed to have a boy and a girl.   I am getting the football players lol.  I need the cheerleader   Have a great week.

familiajames06 - thank you so much! i have not blogged in sooo long! i need to start back up. i am horrible at coming up with names too. i might just sign off with jigga. ha! i am not breastfeeding this time around. i tried it with luke and it was not for me. i lasted for 2 months but didn't enjoy it. i guess breastfeeding is for some people and not for others. but good for you for still nursing stefan. i love his nickname =) you are blessed with 3 boys! how much fun! but i will be praying you get your little girl because i know how bad you want one. hope you and the fam are doing wonderful =)

Joy, I hated breastfeeding both my girls so I ended up expressing milk. It left me much more independent and anyone was able to feed the girls so I could get a break.

Congratulations! See ya on Facebook heh.
