Look How Much I've Grown!!

Rand & Ella

Rand will always protect his little sister. From day one he has always wanted to be right there with her. Even when she was so small and so sick. Size for him didn't matter all he knew was that she was his sister and he was there to protect her for the rest of her life!

Ryan & Ella

Yesterday was Ryan's first time holding Ella. He has always been so scared to hold her in the past. But yesterday we all went in to see her and I haven't asked Ryan if he wanted to hold her, I figure that when he was ready he would tell me. So yesterday Randon was feeding her and out of the blue Ryan said "mom it is time for me to hold Ella". He was so excited and so cute. He didn't want to let her go. He held her for about 20min then Rand wanted to hold. Ryan wasn't ready to hand her over so they started fighting. O WOW!! I better get my snuggles in before we leave, because between 3 boys in the house she won't be available for long.

Almost Home!

Ella is 8lbs 13oz! She's still doing good. She just working on eating. its hard for preemies to eat right away. She gets to tired. Eventho she's a full term size baby she still is a preemie inside. So the boys and I are waiting patiently till we get the green light to go home. I don't want to push her when she's not ready. Hopfuly this next weekend we will be taking her home. I pray for health and strength everyday for my whole family. Prayer works, Ella is proof of that!
