Just born (about 5 minutes old):
Cute Little Bum:
Daddy gets in close:
The reaction to seeing Daddy from that close up:
Practicing the lip to melt Daddy's heart already:
Really seeing Mommy for the first time:
Ben delivering his baby:
And lastly, a size comparison. I guess I have to stop calling Ben my 'little' bug. I thought he was still tiny until I saw tiny Ella in the flesh. I forgot how small they are! Ben is telling us in this picture "His name is Ella!" We'll work on the pronouns.
Thanks for all of your good wishes. We'll start making phone calls when we're less tired (around the year 2015).
Gord and Carrie
p.s. Carrie is the Bestest Baby-Making, Kid Loving, Mommy-Type Person and Wonderful Wife Ever (BBMKLMTPWWE). Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sacrificing yourself to attain this wonderful result. Love, Gord.

No words can say how beautiful little Ella is...not even a thousand. I'm sure you know you made me cry, as well as saying many "Oohs" and "Ahs". It's hard to imagine the precious little ones being cooped up in Mommy's tummy for all those months then coming out and looking so wonderful. I'm only sorry I can't be there sooner to begin spoiling her too. Ben looks like he's loving having a little sister, too! Take good care of her always, Ben. Talk to you soon...love, Grandma Joan.
OH MY GOODNESS! What a beautiful girl! Wow, wow, wow! She is just so perfect. And so small next to her big brother! We can't wait to meet her.
Love,
Ruby, Fiona, Greg, and Grace
What a beautiful little girl. She looks absolutely lovely. Looks perfect in every way. Hoping Carrie that you are feeling well, and that being a mommy of 2 now, brings you all the joy and happiness for years to come. We will see all of you real soon.
What a beautiful little girl. You can be very proud of your new family. They are gorgeous. I know you will have a lot of good times with them both. Here's hoping you can get lots of sleep. Will come and see you sometime before she is 10. Congratulations again.
Another wonderful addition to a wonderful family. Congradulations to you all. Ben and Gord, good luck, don't let the girls push you around too much....

Congrats to you all Sheppard Family.
Carrie Jo Potter, she is beautiful. You must be so proud of that little family. I had been wondering about you, and am so glad to hear all turned out so perfectly.
Take care, be spoiled, and do some spoiling yourself.
Would love to see more pics. Keep me updated......when you have time that is, which will be never by the way, so maybe we'll catch up in oh, fifteen years or so.
All the best you guys!!
