Just held little Ellie until she fell asleep in my arms...Such a wonderful feeling. We went to the doctor on Wednesday, our first outing since our trip home from the hospital. Ellie was 6lb 13oz when she was born, dropped down to 6lb 5 oz before we left and was back up to 6lb 15 oz at her first appointment! I've sure got a healthy eater! She had also grown a whole 1/4 of an inch from 20 inches to 20 1/4 inches.
-Waiting in the doctor's office- She officially met Pippy this weekend. Pippy had been staying at my parents house until we all got acclamated to each other, and returned home to find quite a different household! She actually did really well with the little baby, sniffed her quite thoroughly while Chris and I held a tight hold on her. She seems to be taking the adjustment to her status as our "only child" pretty well...last night every time I went in to feed Ellie, she bolted in after me and sniffed around. Life around here has changed...but for the better!
Last night was also my Pop's 70th birthday. It was really neat to be able to celebrate with all my cousins (except my special Manders and Tyler in California) and aunts and uncles on my mom's side. Grandma even had a cake welcoming little Ellie Anna into the world and our family! It's pretty special to see our family growing right before our eyes...It seems like just yesterday we were all cramming cousins into the farm house getting ready for Easter together, now dating, getting married, buying houses, having babies...life moves quickly!
