Ella's First Tub Bath



Ella's umbilical cord finally fell off so she had her first tub bath today. She really liked it. I love to see her little legs floating.

We had lots of visitors today!!



Ella's Pawpaw and Mimi and Pop and CiCi all came to see her today!

Ella's 2nd Dr. visit.



I love this picture. Ella was posing. Too bad I got the camera strap in the pic. Well, the Dr. said that she had gained 10oz. in 10 days and was back up to 7lbs 4oz. We have a healthy little girl!

Grandmother comes for the week!



Ella is wearing an outfit that was mine, 29 years ago. I think it makes her look like a boy. My mother loves it.

Our poor baby has jaundice!!



Ella is one week old and we found out her billirubin levels had shot up to 16!! So the Dr. sent out a special phototherapy bed for her to lay in. She is only allowed out to eat and be changed. Poor baby...its a good thing she seems to like it.

Ella seems to like bath time!

Ella and Daddy


Ella's first trip to the Dr.



Ella had a billirubin level of 7.8 when we left the hospital. When we visited the Dr. our main concerns were if she was gaining weight and if those levels had gone down.

Ella and Nonnie



Ella was 5 days old and we realized that there were a lot of things that she needed that we didn't have. So Nonnie came over to keep her while we ran out.
