Us girls had ourselves another little photoshoot this morning. I was finally able to get Ella to be cordial about not being fully clothed-a photo op I've been striving for the last 6 weeks!

As you can see Ella continues to pack on the ounces and is still growing like a weed. She's been sleeping in her crib in her own room for over two weeks now, which has let Mommy sleep ALOT better, too. She's sleeping eight to eight and a half hours-usually until about 5 or 5:30am-then she eats and sleeps another 4 hours give or take. She's on a pretty regular nap schedule during the day as well which has really helped ensure that Sycely is able to stick with her routine and schedule, too. So far Ella seems to be keeping pace with most of Sycely's developmental milestones, best I remember them, anyway.

I was able to start working out again (the whole regular schedule/routine thing has been a big help with that, too) and I'm excited to see the rest of my baby weight coming off quite steadily-hooray!

We have our last appointment with our midwives this Friday :( I'm expecting it to be a bittersweet farewell. We're so very blessed to have these ladies as such a big part of our pre-natal/birth/newborn experiences that it's pretty sad to know we won't be seeing them regularly anymore. We've already got a reunion in the works for November.
