Also – for those of you who DON’T check out the OTHER photos everyday, here’s a picture of yesterday’s nose snot that sucked out with that miniature turkey-baster!
We had planned on another busy day of showing off our baby Ella today, but after a night of un-scheduled feedings, both Mommy and Baby are “pooped”! (literally, actually)
Feedings are back on schedule and Mommy is feeling better after a mid-morning nap. Mommy and Ella will be napping together today (or atleast at the same time!)
Continue to pray for them both as they BOTH recover from quite the ordeal just last week!
Our first trip to Wal-Mart with Ella was a COMPLETE success! She slept the whole time! We saw a few people from church and they were all honored to get a glimpse of our new daughter!
Jess is doing MUCH better today – she is still in constant pain from the major surgery she underwent, but the light at the end of the tunnel seems to be getting closer!
Ella is also doing very well – she is sleeping during the night for 4-5 hours in a row! That’s INCREDIBLE! When she does wake up, she feeds for under an hour and then goes back to sleep again!
The Lord is truly blessing our humble family with a good baby!
Today we’re heading out with Ella. Yep – we’re going shopping. Not quite sure how it will go, but we’re giving it a shot!
Tonight Dad Garrett is coming to town to take Mom Garrett out for their Anniversary (today!) dinner!
Ella’s first Doctor’s Appointment is scheduled for Thursday afternoon this week. Her doctor is Dr. Pitts – who we have ONLY heard amazing things about and who, when we finally met him at the hospital, was VERY outspoken about his love for the Lord!
I e-mailed Jess’ school district with the birth details for them to announce in their bi-weekly newsletter. I also e-mailed the Alumni office of IWU and gave them the details (and a photo) – if you get the Triangle (IWU’s alumni magazine) you may soon be seeing our daughter in print!
As I type this, Ella is freshly fed and changed and is swinging to her heart’s content. She is actually asleep being rocked by 4 “D” batteries in her Graco swing!
