Our First Family Picture!
Ella is one week old today!! There has been so much that has happened in the last week! We were finally able to come home from the hospital on Thursday around 11:30. It was nice to be back in our own bed. Since we got home, we found that she really loves the pacifier that came from the hospital, to be swaddled and to sleep! She usually wakes up every 2-3 hours in the night to eat, but falls right back to sleep. It's really nice for Brian and I. He usually gets her out of her bassinet then I'll feed her and change her, then she's back to sleep in no time... literally.
She has had two doctor's appointments since she came home. One was with an orthopedic because we found out she has hip displasia. Brian read that it happens to 1/200 and is most common in first born girls. She has to wear a harness for 24 hrs a day for two weeks. Then, she can wear it 12 hours on, 12 hours off for two more weeks. At first it made me a little sad, but then I realized how much worse things could really be. She's perfectly healthy in every way! Her second appointment was her newborn check up. She weighed 6 lbs even. The doctor said that was completely normal to drop weight after birth.
Maybe I'm speaking too soon, but I think she's a great baby. She only cries when she's hungry. I think every mom might be partial to their child, but being a mom is the best thing ever.
One more thing.. Ella's umblical cord fell off today!
This is Ella coming home from the hospital with her daddy :)
This was her first day home from the hospital! She likes her lounger!
Ella's first sponge bath. She wasn't a big fan.
In front of all her hospital goodies!
Off to her doctor's appointments!
I think the pacifier is her comfort zone!
She still has blue eyes. We'll see if they change!.
