2 months, Santa pic, and Thanksgivibg

Ella weighs 9 lbs 15 oz and is 21.25 inches long. She had to get 4 shots at her 2 month check up. It was awful. She had the saddest cry. It didn't last long, but was still awful. We spent Thanksgiving at my brother's house. My parents came in town too.
Last weekend we went to Santa's Wonderland in College Station. It was such a neat place to take kids. The lights were amazing.
Corbin has been sick for the past couple of days so we have been in the house a lot. Hopefully he will feel better soon.
I am starting to get use to having 2 kids. I am still late everywhere I go. I hope that gets better.

7 weeks

Ella was 7 weeks on Friday. She is staring to hold her head up a lot and is awake more in the evening. She can turn her head form side to side when laying on her tummy. I am still trying to get use to having 2 kids. It is hard to get out of the house. We are late every where. I know it will get better. I am so thankful she is an easy baby and sleeps pretty good at night.

Due Date

Yesterday was Ella's due date. She was born at 34 weeks. It amazes me everyday that God created this tiny baby and he gave us the privilege to be her parents. I remember the day I received the call about her birthmom going to the hospital to get monitored. I was picking up Corbin from MDO and praying to God to let this be the day Ella is born. Even though she will be early please let her be okay. I just wanted the roller coaster of emotions to be over. The constant worry that her birthmom might change her mind. Now that I think back that was a very selfish prayer on my part. God answered our prayers about her being born that day and being okay. She came out screaming. God did not stop there. Every little prayer that we asked he gave. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Matthew 21:22 NIV). For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:8 NIV)
I prayed that I could still be in the delivery room and I was able to. I prayed to be able to cut the umbilical cord, and I did. I prayed about being able to stay at the hospital, and we got to for 3 nights. I prayed for Ella to be in our room some, and she was. These might seem like little things, but God answered them all. He is amazing.

She will be 4 weeks tomorrow. I am going stir crazy being in this house with a very energetic 4 year old. I hope I can make it another 2 weeks.

3 weeks old

Ella is now 3 weeks old today.  She weighs 6 lbs 6 oz and is 19 inches long.  She is so little, but finally doesn't look so tiny.  Davy's mom is here for a couple days and I am so happy.  I am still very nervous about being alone with 2 kids.  We are finally all on the mend.  Davy went to the doctor today because he was starting to feel sick, but not too bad.  Hopefully we will not get sick anymore for a while. 

2 weeks old

I can not believe that Ella is 2 weeks old already.  My parents have been down here for a week and have to leave tomorrow.  I am kind of nervous about being alone with 2 kids.  I am so thankful Ella is so easy.  She is sleeps all the time.  I don't remember Corbin sleeping this much.  Maybe it is because she is 4 weeks early.  I think she has changed alot in a week.  Her cheeks are bigger.  I finally was able to give her a full bath because he umbilical cord fell off Wednesday night.  She is not a fan of baths. 

Blessed

I feel beyond blessed. Over this past week we have been given so many gifts from our friends. I think that Ella is good on clothes until she is 2. In the third picture can you find her? We need to buy furniture.

One week old

Ella is one week old.  Time is already going by so fast.
