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.
