Here are a few photos from Ella's first week at home with the family. Things are going great so far! Don't want to jinx myself, but she's doing really well at night and I have been able to get plenty of sleep : ) Lia is a wonderful big sister and loves to "pet Baby Ella's head."

I want to be in the picture too!

Ella's first trip to the doctor
After being discharged last Friday, we had to take her back to the hospital to recheck her jaundice on Saturday because the doctor was a little concerned. It hadn't spiked, so they didn't make us admit her, but said we needed to go to the pediatrician on Monday to check it again. So, we went for our first visit to the pediatrician Monday morning. Thankfully, the levels had dropped and she looked healthy all the way around. She was already back up past her birth weight at only 6 days old! She was 7 lbs 10.6 oz. They said she was only 19.75 inches, shorter than they measured at birth - guess someone got the length wrong...It was a great first visit, and we are so thrilled with how well Ella is doing!
