We had another baby.



So way back on May 22, also known in my house as the last day of school. I had another baby. Yep my parents came over bright and early to get the kids off to school and DJ and I went to check onto the hospital. I was induced so it was nice to be able to arrange things early for the other children.
 The problem was our sweet baby girl was still without and ideas of a name. We usually have a couple front runners but not this time. In fact we stopped talking about it altogether. So we checked in and were nicely situated in our room. I finally got my slice of heaven called the epidural. So I was resting soundly watching lame tv when I decided to browse my name list on nameberry. I came across the name Eleanor. Which has been on and off my list for years. I really like it but I knew DJ would never go for it. So after studying it a while I closed the iPad and laid it on the table. 
         Meanwhile, DJ was massaging my feet and making sure I was comfortable and relaxed. Just kidding, he was in the far corner on his laptop. Baby number 5 folks! Anyway, due to my extreme bordum I asked what he was doing. He was doing genealogy. So I jokingly asked if he found any good family names. To my surprise he said he actually did! I asked him what the name was and to my great surprise it was Eleanor! What? Did we just decide on a name? Almost I still has to have the baby. So a while later when the nurses realized I was having the baby, yep 2 1/2 pushes. I had my sweet 6lb 7oz, 19 inch long baby girl. I looked at her and yep she was Eleanor. So their it is...
 Eleanor Lee Borst
Isn't she sweet! 
The next 24 hours grandma, grandpa, aunt Sara, Vanessa, Lucas, Eden and Molly all came to visit. Leila didn't meet her till we came home. She was having too much fun playing with her cousin Travis.
 
 
 So we love her and we are glad she is here. Even if I did cry for a week when I found out I was pregnant. I guess when you don't think you can possibly do something you learn you can, and you do.
