Settling In

We're doing our best to get adjusted to life with sweet Ellia.

That shouldn't be a difficult task, considering how much she sleeps!








It is great to have such a big helper, though. Livvie loves her baby sister, whose name she pronounces like a champ!








My parents left early Thursday morning. That was hard for me. And for Olivia, too... she became close buddies with Grandpa especially!




Olivia likes to stand on her stool and pat Ellia in her crib.









Thanks for praying for us; we certainly do need it! Ellie sleeps almost all the time--can't complain about that! Let's just hope she doesn't get her days & nights mixed up like Livvie did! Ellia had a checkup yesterday. Her weight is back on the upswing, for which we're thankful. It will continue that way, too, as we seem to be living in a land flowing with milk & honey.

Wednesday Carolyn McCarthy came over and did a photo shoot. That was fun. I'll post pics or a link soon.
Nate's mom is here until tomorrow, and then we're on our own!

Aww, what a sweet big sister. I just saw the "Life with Livvie and Ellie." Their nicknames have a good ring!
Glad your parents were there to help--I know they will be missed.
Enjoy this newborn sleepy stage!
