Ella just wouldn’t quite settle down in her bed when we laid her down tonight. When Stevan got up to use the restroom twenty minutes later, he saw toilet paper floating in the wind outside our front door’s window. Yep, white ribbons floating in the breeze and shiny confetti on our front porch along with [...]
This picture was taken a long time ago in Ella terms, but I think it fits my mom best. She has been a wonderful mom my whole life, but it seems that she has been coming to our aid quite frequently since Ella has been born. Yes, some of you probably think it’s because she [...]
Isn’t she adorable? I love the fact that she decided to let her tiny teeth pop out in this picture. It was the perfect evening for a photo shoot. Click on the picture for a better view. This is one of my favorite pictures–It isn’t the highest of quality, but she finally looks like she [...]
There’s something about waking up to the realization that you feel good and don’t have to hurry to the restroom to throw up. That’s how I felt this morning–NOT yesterday morning at 4:00 a.m.! I felt terrible yesterday–dizzy, weak, and nauseated the whole day. It must have been a 24-hour bug, because today I woke [...]
Sorry I haven’t blogged for a few days–it’s been a little crazy here. Ella is asleep so depending on how long she stays asleep will reflect how well this post is written. Stevan had his ultra-sound yesterday. I went with him and watched them look at his pancreas, liver, kidney, and gall bladder. Of course, [...]
Ella is still going strong, fighting sleep, and wanting to play–she’s been awake since 5:30 this evening. Usually, she at least winds down and wants to relax and cuddle on one of us by this time of night, but she is not doing that tonight. Stevan is gone on the all-nighter (hopefully surviving) and I [...]
Why is it that when I want Ella to wake up from a nap so that I can go have coffee with Liz Lewis, she remains asleep taking a marathon (over 2 1/2 hrs) nap? But, when I have lots of housework and the goal to get it all done while she is asleep she [...]
As I am typing this, Ella is coughing through her nap. She woke up with a runny nose yesterday that has now drained into her throat causing the coughing spasms. She’s had explosive diapers, too, so I’m blaming it on teething for now. That second tooth is still pushing up and all she did was [...]
