Baby on the way

"This is the greatest thing that has ever happend to me.."

                                                                      E. Presley

Priscilla found out that she was pregnant in second week of June 1967. Elvis told the world that his new wife was expecting their first bundle of joy. After being put trough a nine-hour labor, on February 1st 1968 at 5:01 pm in Baptist Hospital in Memphis, Priscilla gave birth to a beautiful baby girl called Lisa Marie Presley. Everybody was delighted with Lisa, especially young, protective, proud first-time daddy Elvis. Elvis' pet names for his little girl were Yisa, Buttonhead and Injun.

SOME QUOTES ABOUT YISA AND ELVIS:

"Elvis gave her the one thing that is vital for a parent to give a child and that was unequivocal love!"

"The man in my hospital room that day was the man I loved and will always love. He didn't have to act the part of Elvis Presley superstar. He was just a man, my husband."

Dream coming true

Elvis soon started to make plans to finally bring Priscilla to America.

Elvis and Cilla in 1962

He broke up his longtime relationship with Anita Wood, or better said she left him after she found Priscilla's love letters, and Elvis continued to work on Priscilla's parents to let her live in Memphis. He said her father that she loved his daughter, that would respect her, let her finish her schooling and then would marry her. Little before Chrismas 1962, Priscilla came to New York where she was met by Vernon Presley and his wife Dee Stanley and then came to Memphis. Unfortunately, that didn't last for long. Priscilla had to go back to Germany, but came again to Graceland in 1963 where she finished her school and stayed to live with the love of her life.
