It took him an extra week but he is here. Elijah David Bowling was born Friday 2/19/2010 at 9:05 p.m. He weighed eight pounds and was twenty and a half inches long. A typical Dave and Jessica child with big feet and lots of hair. Jessica had a rough start at the hospital with being poked and proded six times to get an I.V. going. She really hates needles so this was pretty tramatic for her. Then the epidural was not exactly pleasent either. But after she suffered through that she had a great delivery. Once she was fully dialated she only had to push through four contractions before Eli was out. The doc had me cut the umbilical cord and when I did it prayed blood all over my face and about half the room. It was pretty wierd. Anyways Jessica and Eli are both home and are both doing great. So here are the first round of pictures. And thank you to everyone for the love and support and the many prayers offered in our behalf. We have really felt your love for us. And once again we have felt our Father in Heavens love for us by blessing us with a perfect little baby. And an extra thank you to grandma and grandpa Bowling for watching the other three sick siblings for us.

He is so adorable! Congratulations! We are so glad that everything went well. I'm glad you posted so quickly. I think Lily was 4 or 5 months old before we even got to see a picture. He looks just like a young Bowling to me! We can't wait to meet the little man someday!
When I looked at this post earlier the video didn't work, but this time it was! I love that Lily is just stroking his head! Good luck with all your helpers! What do the kids think of him?
He is SO cute. I don't know how you guys have kids that are all so cute right from their first day! Parker kept trying to grab his hand in the pictures.
We can't wait to come back next month and meet the little guy.
Sorry again about our kids infecting your kids. What horrible timing.
