So Sad

So I took Ella in for a little cold and congestion she's had and the doctor told me she had a double ear infection! I am freaked out to say the least, because Lily never had one and Ella is so little, it just hurts my heart to see her sick. She has actually been really good though, not too fussy and so if I wouldn't have taken her in I might not of known about her ears. So that's what we are doing this week, but we have loved going to the pool a couple of times, or should I say Lily loved the water while I watched her, but it's been good to get out a bit more for Lily's sake, she's a bit bored with playing at home and hanging out with me while I nurse Ella.

Ella's 2 week pictures

So my amazing and talented friend Angi took some newborn pictures of Ella, and I Love, love, love them!!!! With Lily we only had a few new baby pictures because we didn't really have a good camera, and I always hated that. So now I have these and I can't wait to blow them up and plaster my walls with them, thanks again Angi, you are the best!

My little helper

So Lily is coming back from AZ tonight and I am really getting excited to have my little helper coming back. It has been extremely nice to have this time just to get back to normal and to just bond with Ella, and Lily had so much fun I don't even think she missed us that much. Let's just say I am already looking forward to next summer's trip to Grandma's house and by then they can take both girls, oh what fun!

Update

So we are alive and doing great, I definately have some fun stuff taking up all my old blogging time, like sleeping, trying to give Lily one on one time, and gazing at the new baby girl. Sorry, not much else to say, but Lily is heading for AZ next week and so more pictures when I have a minute - all I can say is Whoa! a bit of an adjustment this first week has been and all you moms of 2+ a shout out to you.

Here she is!

Ella Rose Martin was born Thursday, May 29th, at 7:18 AM, weighing 9 lbs. and is 20 inches long. After looking at Lily's scrapbook, Ella is identical to her in every way but has dark hair, where Lily had none. We even stayed in the exact same hospital room as when we had Lily, but so far my recovery has been 100% easier. I just got home today and uploaded like over 100 pictures from the hospital, and as soon as I have a minute to edit them I will do a MAJOR post, but here's a sneak peak at our beautiful Ella Rose! (my favorites are of Lily and her baby sister)
