Hello everyone!
Ella is asleep in her pack and play for the first time today! And yes, it's 6:41 - she slept on mom for a little bit, on dad for a little bit, was awake for a lot of the day, and now is finally content to be laying by herself :)
It was a great weekend seeing family and celebrating my birthday! How fun that I was able to see so many people! Thanks everyone for being there :) The best present, of course, is Miss Ella! I'm so happy to be her mom :)
Here's a video of her just being herself - not to exciting, but gettin' those legs moving and making some cute faces :)
Hope everyone had a good Monday!
Love
Laura

Ella Chillin'
Hey all :)
Here's a video of what Ella does during Mom's 'check email and stuff' time at the computer - usually it's while I eat breakfast and just check stuff out on the internet - that way she has some time to get that brain workin' around the classical music! It's Baby Einstein, and she does seem to like it!
Although we have more fun when we're cuddling together :)

Ella's First Bottle
Oooh - it's been 10 days! Sorry about that!!!
Here's a video of Ian feeding Ella her first bottle - she was VERY fussy before (she was hungry!) and so she took to the bottle right away! Yay!
However, she seemed hungry after the bottle as well, so I fed her a little more, and then she proceeded to projectile vomit ALL over Mom! oh well... our little sweetie pie can't control what her stomach does!
We're excited to bring Ella up to the suburbs this weekend!
Have a great Thursday!
Love

Workouts with Dad
Good morning!
Wow - I suppose afternoon - except that it's 1:01pm, I am still in my bathrobe, and haven't eaten lunch myself yet!
Ella is chilling out in her green rocker, and Mom gets some computer time - which is a nice adult activity to do! :) Of course my adult time still has to do with our little Ella, which I love! Just can't get enough of that girl!
Here's a video of Ella with Ian - doing some little baby workouts :)
Looking forward to seeing a lot of the family soon! Aunt Mary is coming to visit tomorrow - so our little family is really looking forward to seeing her!!! :)

A New Entry :)
Good morning, everyone!
It's 11:04, and I just changed a shirt that was FULL of baby spit up - welcome to Mommy hood :) Which I completely love!!!
Most of you know all the details around Ella's birth and her first week and some here - so I won't go into full detail and recount them, but if you would like to know more, just email me :)
I'm going to try and upload some videos of Ella on this page so that you can all at least see her for a little while, even if it's not in person -
Please just remember that you are welcome to visit anytime - just remember, Dad's back at work so nights and weekends Daddy has first dibs on his little sweet pea ;)
This video is of Ella with her little toy - while she has the hiccups - it's actually the very same thing she's doing as I write this entry - she's just mesmerized :)

The Waiting Game
Good morning, all!
Well, Ian and I both slept horribly last night! I think we're both excited and worried about the baby - and it's just hard to sleep through that! I started on the couch, and then ended up going back to bed at about 3 (waking up and scaring my poor husband) because I was having nightmares that people were trying to break in! Scary!!!
Anyhow, the Foundation Dinner was really nice last night - We started off by sitting in the very back corner of the big room, and then the Foundation president pulled us up to sit with her and her family - so that was a nice surprise (I suppose!). But all in all, people loved all the artwork the kids made (yay!) AND Mr. Barber offered me my job back for next year!! DOUBLE yay!! So now, pending board approval (I'm just a name on a list so it should be fine) I'll be able to go back to Irving in the fall and paint and make fun stuff with kids again all year :) (Note: I'm planning on taking Family Leave for the 1st 12 weeks of school, so I'll probably end up going back in Nov. sometime)
Other than that, on my errands yesterday and at the dinner, it was so much fun to respond to the question of "When are you due?" with the answer of "Thursday!" That really surprised people and some were even surprised I was out and about!
Now we just play the waiting game - The baby is getting big - I can tell!! So hopefully it doesn't get TOO comfy in there! Still having contractions, but not in any order or reason - and that can happen for a while I guess... so we just wait! I've honestly been praying that I'm ready for this baby to be born :) I think it's about time! (Or I wish it was, anyway!!!)
2 more days until the due date - so we'll just see I guess! Today is Mary's day in the baby pool, and I would just LOVE it if she was the winner :)
Have a great day, everyone!
Love
Laura
