This is my first chance to write on here since the start of the weekend. I still can’t believe she is actually here! Having Ella Grace, getting to know each other, breastfeeding, and being together as a family of three has been an amazing experience. Nathan has been the best husband and daddy anyone could ever ask for. He takes charge in changing her diapers, swaddling, helping with feedings, and taking care of me. My recovery is going well but it has definitely been painful and difficult to get around to help with the baby.
We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers! Tomorrow we will get to bring our sweetie home. Grandma & Grandpa Hollinger and Auntie Daphne will be here for the rest of the week and we can’t wait for Mimi & Papa Mitten to arrive.
Here are a few pictures from today :)
Congratulations Naphtali and Nathan! Ella is such a cutie! Hope you are feeling great soon!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to hold Ella Grace. Justin will be excited, too. He asks everyday a couple times per day if I've heard from you or gotten a text or whatever. We love you three!
ReplyDeleteNate & Naph, she is beautiful! I'm so happy for all 3 of you, and very relieved that both Naph and Ella Grace are doing fine. I'm so glad you have this blog so I can keep up with her as she grows!
ReplyDeleteMitten family, you look amazing! Ella's little tongue poking out in her pics is crackin' me up! I am happy that you are all well - Naphtali, you look so beautiful with your little girl in your arms! Both of you... so serene! Nathan, I don't think you could be happier! The role of Auntie suits Daph perfectly! I am so happy for you all! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hooter hider ON the head...I guess now also a head hider. Hilarious. :)
ReplyDeleteI love her fat cheeks. Wish I was there to see her. I'll call you guys in a week or so after things have calmed down.
