while she sleeps.

ellie is asleep and... to be honest... she's a GREAT sleeper.  i probably shouldn't admit it.  the first couple of nights were rough.  but, now that she's eating good sleep is much better.  i cannot believe it's already been a week.  i'm feeling relaxed and well rested.

the ONLY way i'm feeling this way is because of my sweet husband.  (a weekend visit from my parents helped too ;))  michael has been so great.  he's taking care of his girls.  so, instead of this post being all about ellie.. it's more about michael.  he graduated from missouri state the friday before ellie arrived.  we weren't sure if he'd get to walk because we thought she would be here.... but she had other plans.  we made it to his graduation.. and i was still pregnant.  our little girl decided to join us on monday (8/8) which happened to be our 2nd wedding anniversary.  we don't mind sharing our day with her.  we had our anniversary dinner in our hospital room.  romantic, right?

so proud of you, honey...
can't wait to spend many more years with you!
