What more can I say?
Update: Ella had her well-baby check up today. She weighs in at 30 lbs. and is 35 and 1/4 inches high. Her hat size is 48.5 cm.
Congratulations, Wes and Ellen!
Ellen may kill me for posting this picture without permission, but I think it’s the epitome of motherhood and needs to be shared with the world. William Pate was born on Thursday, April 24th! He was 7 lbs. 8 oz and 20 inches long. Ellen, his mom, is my best friend from college–we were roomies [...]
What Represents Motherhood to you?
A picture that represents motherhood to me is the one everyone already sees everyday when they check this website. This picture is a time when Ella and I are playing together and just having fun. Maybe there are dishes in the sink or a load of laundry to fold that we can’t see. If you [...]
Achoo!
Ella likes to fake sneeze so she can say, “Bless you!” It kind of sounds like “Bless shoe,” but she knows what she means. I seem to be sneezing a lot more than her today. She has a virus and I have a head cold or I am really responding to the pollen count outside. [...]
Happy Birthday, Ella Marie!
I think it was around this time (11:30ish p.m.) two years ago on a Sunday evening that nurse Rachel walked in my labor and delivery room and announced that the show was over and I was going in for an emergency c-section. Before I knew it, I was being injected with more numbing drugs and [...]
The meds worked
Ella slept, finally slept, well last night. She woke at 5:00 because she couldn’t find her paci (pacifier) so I found it for her and she went right back down until 8:30 ish. She still has a bad virus, but she was so much happier this morning with a good night’s rest. She has also [...]
Some cute birthday blessings!
The post before this one super long–sorry about that. I wanted to share some details on some neat birthday blessings that Ella received over the weekend. You can view her site to see her reaction to us all singing Happy Birthday to her. Aunt Sher brought Ella all of these wonderful clothes and toys that [...]
Pray for Ella and her cold!
We had quite the weekend here in WI. My mom came to visit us on Friday to help celebrate Ella’s birthday. She was able to stay until today. Sher, Stevan’s sis, came up on Sunday to hear Stev preach and bring Ella tons of birthday goodies, too. So, we had a cake and sang “Happy [...]
So, apparently…
I snore! Admitting this out loud is quite embarrassing, but I don’t know what to do about it. Well, I did do some research on it, so here is what I need to try: Sleeping on my side (I’ve slept on my back since Ella was born, but rarely did before) Nose strips or throat [...]
