Elsa Providence Carnahan



Welcome Elsa Providence Carnahan! Elsa was born at 1:12am this morning. She weighed 7lbs. 4oz. and measured 21" long. She and Mommy are doing great and we are all excited to go home soon.

Elsa was supposed to be born today, just not quite so early. Our doctor had planned to induce Tiffany at 7:30am this morning, but Elsa's more of a late night person, so she got the party started last night at dinner. We were out with friends and family enjoying a meal when the contractions came on strong. We left Titus in good hands and came to the hospital. A short six hours later, Elsa was here. And I must say, this delivery was very smooth. Pushing only took 10-15 mins and wasn't nearly as tough on Mommy (or Daddy for that matter) when compared to her big brother. Speaking of big bro Titus, he's doing well with his favorite babysitter.

God's ways are higher than our own. We've learned that you don't have to understand why things happen the way they do, but trust that His providence will bring the greatest blessings. And it has...
