Well, one month has just FLOWN by!
Our precious little Ellie was born exactly one month ago today! Our world has changed...only for the better! We are enjoying every minute with her. Yes, even when she wakes up in the middle of the night to nurse, I look into the craddle & can't help but to smile ~ she is ours, I LOVE her so much!
I am enjoying her SO much that we have decided that I am going to be a stay at home mom. Our families are wonderful & offered to come to JC any weekend that Chad & I were both scheduled to work! But it was stressing me out just thinking about leaving her, about working every weekend & always juggling whose weekend it was to come help. So it is official - I am not going back to work! I am very excited & looking forward to mommy & Ellie time 24/7!
We have had lots of visitors, actually Elllie has had lots of visitors! My mom stayed here for a whole week & ran this house for me! She was so wonderful, I wasn't sure if I could do it by my self! The day she left I just cried and cried, my most emotional day yet. It was hard to say bye especially not knowing when I would see her again! ok, enough talking about that ... tears!
The other hard days are when Chad is on call. He leaves @ 5am & doesn't get hme til the next day around lunch ... ugh!! We miss him so much during the day period but all day, night & into the next day is rough! He is such a good daddy & the best husband in the world!
The in laws came to visit for a weekend as well. My mother in law, Monica, stayed a few extra days to help me out a little.
Then my sister Marie came back & stayed a long weekend! She was so sweet - she cooked & cooked! It was that weekend that mom & maggie came up from a volleyball tournament in Chattanooga to surprise us for a over night visit! YAY~
Stacey & her kiddos came up for the day & we went out to dinner! It was a great day, so nice to catch up with her! Then Aunt Neen came up for two nights. We did a little shopping! She brought Easter goodies. Of course my friends from work came by one day ~ they both have daughters ( Avery & Kate) that will be in the play group here in JC!
And last weekend my dad came! It was our Easter surprise! He brougth Marie & Maggie with him! It was a great 24 hours ~ we even made it to church in one piece!!
Then this past Tuesday, Aunt kaka came by! it was so nice seeing ger & uncle Marty.
Lots of sweet friendshave stopped by or brought dinner!! Thank you to you girls!!
This weekend we are taking a road trip for the first time to Nashville! Lots more friends & family will be meeting babyEllie! We can't wait!
