5 Weeks Old

Ella is 5 weeks old today. Time is flying by! We are all adjusting well having her at home. The boys love their baby sister. Carson has to have her in his sight at all times. I really thought Cooper would be jealous, but he isn't one bit. He just says "Baby Ella" all the time. She is a loud sleeper, so she has already been booted from our bedroom. She is eating well and sleeping well (especially during the day). She was already on a schedule in the hospital, so that makes her a pretty easy baby so far. Jason and I are trying to adjust getting up every 2.5 hours once again. Whew, we're tired! I took her to the doctor today for a weight check and a head check. She is up to 6 lb 1 oz. Her head actually measured 1/2 cm less than it did in the hospital. Praise God! We're still praying for no shunt. Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days. It's hard to keep up with a blog and 3 little ones. We're having too much fun!






The picture above is of the prayer quilt my Aunt Sandy surprised me with. Actually it is for Ella. She made the quilt and then had people tie the knots who prayed/continuing to pray for Ella. This quilt will be forever cherished! Thank you Aunt Sandy.
