Ella Grace: {2 months old}

The first 2 months of Ella's life were such a blur. Half of it was spent driving back and forth the hospital everyday, and the other half was getting used to have 3 kids. There was no more, man-to-man defense...there were now MORE of THEM then US! I think we've figured it out now...until she starts crawling, walking and running after C and A.

She getting a little belly. :)

Ella Grace @ 2 months old:

drinking between 2 1/2 - 3 oz every 3 hours

weight??? I'm not sure how much she weighed on 4/26 but on 4/16 (7 weeks old) she weighed 6 lbs 4 oz!!!! We went to the Dr because she was a little constipated. :0/

diapers: newborn

clothes: newborn

She was out of the preemie clothes between 5-6 weeks old.

She is a great sleeper and wakes up on her own to drink her milk. She is still on the preemie formula and will be until she is 4 months old. Even though she has gas pains 2 hours after every bottle, she is a FANTASTIC newborn and we couldn't ask for anything better! God is GOOD!

Ella Grace: {facetime}

I attempts to let Ella meet her family and get to hear everyone's voices,we face-timed often. :)
Mommy tired to always get some pictures of the conversations.

My Grandma Rose and Papa Frank were just smitten with their Great Granddaughter! I wish we lived closer so they could see the kids in person too!

What a blessing Smart Phones are! We were able to introduce Ella to very important people in her life and document all of it for her!

Party of 5: {baby bump, last trimester}

I never posted my weekly photos with my baby bump during my last (mini) trimester.

28 weeks

We took the kids to our 3D ultrasound appt during my 29th week of pregnancy. You can't tell from the picture below, but Ava DID enjoy it. Colin was very interested in the ultrasound and was able to see her facial features and expressions on his own. Ava wanted to lay with me in the chair and was pointing to the screen and saying "baby" over and over.

30 weeks

Little did we know, our baby girl would be here 2 weeks later!

40 weeks with my Precious 8 weeks old Ella Grace

desserts, drinks and diapers

My sweet, beautiful, and amazing life-long-friends hosted a baby sprinkle for Sweet Ella and I.

We originally planned it for March 5 but we all know how that turned out. So...we rescheduled it for a Friday night in April. We had a great time with our girls night "out".
