Paul and I enjoyed being able to focus on her during the quiet times in the hospital.
During our day in the hospital, Ella was so well-behaved! She rarely cried, ate like a champion, and even fared two visits from her siblings.
Escorted by fearless Grandpatty Extraordinaire...
The kiddos loved sanitizing their hands with the "rubba-rubba"...
Abby loved just looking and giving fishy-kisses to the top of her head.
Grandpatty got some good holding time, and was good enough to share, too. Michael loves watching Ella, and thinking of all the things she will think and do as she gets older. He was formulating his plan about the things he was going to show her (cars, light sabers, etc.) when she got home during this visit.
Bekah and Abby have this girly, motherly tenderness around Ella. They are soft with her, and speak in high-pitched doting tones.
Bekah loves to bring her blankets and pat her body. Abby gives kiss after kiss and says "baby Eya" over and over. Cute girls.
In the meantime... rooting is one of Ella's main activities. She'll attack almost any type of skin.
Otherwise, she sleeps and eats and sleeps and eats and sleeps. Michael asked when we will get to see her eyes. But she is giving her mommy lots of time to rest and recover. She had her first blow-out today... so cute! She loves to have her legs rubbed, and sleeps most soundly in her mother's arms.
We love our little baby Ella.

Very nice pictures. Amy I do know that her name is Ella. I noticed in my last comment that this voice recognition program printed a different name. Nevertheless, I know who she is and she is certainly worth having. Love, uncle Ron
