Daddy's Little Girl!

Us three were watching a movie in bed and Bane and Ella fell asleep. They both looked so cute I couldn't help but take a picture.

Aunt Kristy here for a visit!!!

Our Movie Star

POOP!!

So it's late and Ella and I are laying in bed giving Bane a deserved nap. We are leaving for home in the morning and although all the doctors and nurses have been absolutely amazing I am ready to get home. Today's big event has been all about poop!!! I just learned all this which I am sure all of you mothers out there might already know this but newborns are supposed to have their very first poop within 48 hours of birth, well needless to say Ella was nearing that deadline and nothing. Nurses were coming in every hour or so to check her and they all kept looking at their watch and they would all have the same look on their faces, like a hurry up little girl were waiting. Well now Bane and I are constantly rubbing her belly and trying to reason with her (I know she can't understand but it made us feel better anyway lol)... still nothing, no poop. Finally at the last minute there it was and somehow we are all laughing and so excited about this huge event for the day! I never thought anything to do with poop would make us so happy or proud... welcome to parenthood!!

I also wanted to thank all of you for your being there for us! All of the phone calls, emails, texts from all of you have been so thoughtful and makes me cry multiple times a day for the love and support. I know that we are in CO but I really feel that you all were here with us and I love you all.

Proud Daddy!

Bane has fallen in love and this baby will be a daddy's girl for sure!! He is taking care and spoiling the both of us!!!! I could not have a better husband.

Ella's arrival

So Ella has arrived! We are still in the hospital and all doing fine and Ella is more precious everyday. It all started Thursday afternoon around 1pm when the contractions started and slowly became stronger and closer together. After many hours of me crying in pain and bane getting really nervous we headed to the hospital at 11pm at night. I held off until they were 3 mins apart because I was afraid of being that pregnant girl who went to the hospital way to early only to be sent home and told to come back later, I was determined that when I did get there it would be to have a baby not a practice run lol!! Anyway I was 5 cemeters when I got there and after an epidural and 8 more hours then she finally came. As my sister has said there was pain and words and phone calls but I will spare the details for you all. Here are some pics and of coarse I feel she is the most gorgeous baby girl ever... Born 9/17/09 at 7:02 am. 6 lbs 13 ounces, 19 inches long!!

This is a pic of when bane took me to Breckenridge, CO for a weekend getaway. It was winter here and we are in the mountains although you can't tell because you can't see the background. I am working on my photography skills!!

SO at 39 weeks we are still waiting patiently for our little one to arrive, in the meantime I thought I would show pics of her room for you all to see. Now all we need is a baby! lol
