Moving Right Along

Ella is almost exactly 4 days old as I type this. She's changing every single day! When we wake up in the morning we look at her and can't believe she looks different from when she went to sleep! Her face is a lot less red and the bruising is much improved. She has a bit of a rash on her chin but we'll check that out today at her first doctor's appointment. I'm sure it's fine.

I can't get over how well Lilly is doing with Ella. She loves her so much and constantly says, "Awwww! She's soooo cute!" and she likes to help burp her. She's very gentle and careful around her as well. Andy and I have been working very hard to make sure she has one-on-one attention from one of us at all times. It's like a tag team! Yesterday I took Lilly to her gym class. It was nice to be alone with her and follow our usual routine. I left Andy and Ella at home and hoped she didn't get hungry! It all worked out. Last night I went to Target and Andy stayed home with both girls! I don't know what I'll do when he goes back to work but I'm just trying not to think about it. Life will definitely be a lot harder but sweeter as well.
We'll all be going to Ella's first doctor's appointment in an hour or so. I'm anxious to see if her weight is good since she doesn't nurse as frequently or as long as Lilly did. Judging by her dirty diapers I'm assuming she's doing great but it will be nice to see the numbers on the scale.
