miss ella sophia schmaltz

We have had a very busy couple of weeks! Last Friday, March 2nd our beautiful sweet niece Ella Sophia Schmaltz was born! My very brave sister did amazing during her labor (that ended up being a not-by-choice-natural labor!) and her and Russell have been enjoying life with their new sweet baby girl. I have to say it feels very strange to now be the only pregnant sister! We happened to take the only official pregnancy picture of the two of us just a week or so before Ella was born when Lindsay was 37ish weeks and I was 25ish weeks. Yes, although nearly 12 weeks apart we look pretty close in size!
And here is my new sweet niece Ella. 6 lbs, 6 oz. 20.5 inches long. So, so sweet!
