We had our 2nd day “Mother/Baby” check this morning and Ella has already gained back her birth weight like a week early! Risk of jaundice is way down, she’s nursing fairly well and really doing a splendid job of dirtying diapers. We’re signed up for a diaper service, but the newborn sized diapers are just way too big for the little girl. Luckily the hospital gave us a bunch of diapers to use until we figure this poop thing out.
The girl re-dirties her diapers without fail just minutes after I change her. We’re going to need to talk. Plus, there are so many different outfits, each with a different way to remove them that I’m ending up with some 2am challenges.
Oh, and some more photos
Stop being a dad! It’s scary. Well, shoot, now I feel old. See what you did Andy. I am off trying to be a college student again and you made me feel like some adult. Jesus man!
Hey! Is that child giving me the finger??!!
We’ve been waiting for the news. Congratulations Andy and Michelle. Glad to hear mom, dad & Ella are doing well. Congratulations also to Grandpa Greg, Grandma Susie, and Auntie Hillary. We know Ben is smiling down on you. We’ll pass the news on to Troy and Angeline; they are living in Wenatchee now. No babies in their forcast at this time, but we’re staying tuned. Keep us updated with all the news and pictures.
Love, John and Candace
Congrats Michelle, Ella, and Andy! She is precious. Enjoy how little she is because before you know it she’ll be walking and you’ll see little 6lb babies and ask, “Was Ella ever that small?”
Cheers,
Derek
