Elliora Grace - Hospital Birth Photo
We've come a long way since I was born...
The house is blissfully quiet this Sunday morning. I have a sweet, newborn lying beside me with her hand clutching my laptop power cord. She already loves technology. No husband or two year old in site. A mug of hot coffee to my right and nothing stopping me from enjoying it, while I listen to a sermon online.
We're taking it easy today, after overdoing it yesterday morning. I know, you're shocked that I would over do it, right? Well, I couldn't help it. Yesterday marked one of the biggest events of the year at the Mission, of which I am the event director. So, rather than be completely absent, I marched our little family down to the shelter at 9 am to witness the 3rd Annual Rescue Run. It was a smashing event! But as always, I pushed a little too hard and hobbled my way out the door when it was over.
So, I'm on orders to take it easy today (thanks husband!).
On a side note...I feel a little foolish for forgetting how little sleep you get with a newborn. Elliora has had no problem reminding me. Crying from ten til two? I think I blocked those memories from my mind after Annelise started sleeping through the night - which was at ten weeks old. Therefore, I have a new goal...are you listening Elliora? You will be sleeping through the night before you reach your eighth week of life. So help me...

Man, I don't even sleep all the way through the night. Good thing I'm not your sweet little daughter! : )
You are insane woman! I would never have been able to get out of the house to an event like that a week after my c section! Take it easy my friend!
Ug...Ana was sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old and now...she's back to waking up at 3/4/5...it's really hard to go backwards. I hope it comes soon for you!
I love that she has 'Luter eyes". At least for now. She may look like her GiGi Bartlett :)
She is so cute, and that fuzzy little sleeper. I miss those days a bit.
She is soooo cute! I stopped getting the hospital photos because my kids looked really homely in them.
Adam cried from midnight to 3am, for 12 weeks. It was awful, horrible, and I know how you feel.
