I'm sure most of you know that our newest addition, Ellie Marian, joined us 12 days ago. She was born about a week early and we couldn't have been more ready to meet her! Mom is happy she arrived early as she already weighed in as our 'big' girl: 7 lbs, 14 oz, 21" long! I wasn't expecting her to be quite that big as Nolan only weighed 6 lbs, 9 oz and was 21"...and he was late. It was still a fast, easy, healthy delivery so we are blessed!
She is the 2nd grandchild on the Holthaus side and 5th on the Hickman side. First girl...and the biggest :) She knew she was going to have to fight for her own!
Big brother Nolan is adjusting really well. He can't seem to get enough kisses in! However, he gets a bit upset if he can't hold her when he is ready :)
Jason and I are also getting used to our new schedule. She is a good sleeper at night which has REALLY helped! It has been a much quicker adjustment than it was with Nolan...partly, I'm sure, because we are chasing him around and you don't have another option! The past week I have still been sending Nolan to day-care for half days as I adjust. It also allows him to play with his friends. We have Nolan at an in-home day-care and he is one of three kids there. He does so well and loves to socialize!
Ellie has been a very laid back, mellow baby. Another blessing! Please enjoy a few pictures:
Love your new blog site. Will be fun to see pics of Nolan & Ellie as they grow. Thanks for sharing. Love - Mom
