Grandma Mac's visit!


We had a great visit with Grandma Mac, and she is definatly missed. Trying to take care of an infant, and yourself is definatly harder then I thought. Just when you thought it was safe to sit down and rest Ella wets herself or decides she's finally hungry. The pic to the left is when she decided to pee during a changing. My mom had not quite got the diaper on Ella when she decided to pee again. Since that event I've been quick to put those diapers on.
Im happy to report that Ella has been making huge weight gains over the past week. We are continuing to breastfeed but with the occasional bottle of formula, and that seems to be the best feeding plan for both mom and baby. On Friday Ella weighed a little over 7 lbs and then on Tuesday she weighed a hefty 7 lbs 7 oz. Typically a baby gaines an ounce a day but I think she is trying to make up for lost time.
Ella has also started to track objects with her eyes and is much more alert during the day.... and night. She is
definatly starting to show her own
unique personality.
