It’s been a busy 3 weeks
Ella turned 3 weeks yesterday!
We’ve been busy trying to keep up with the uploading of pictures, but I haven’t posted to let everyone know they’re there until now! Have a look!
Ella is a great baby. She loves to be held … all the time! She doesn’t care for soothers much, but we can get her to take one for a little bit and sometimes she’ll fall asleep with it.
She’s been a champion feeder. She lost 8.2% of her birthweight (7lbs 13oz when we left the hospital on friday) and gained 4oz in 3 days before our breastfeeding clinic appointment. We started giving her some formula at night in hopes that she’ll sleep longer. Currently on breastmilk alone she’ll sleep for 1.5 hours or so in her bed, but in the carseat … hours!
She seems to like her sling pretty well, but it gets a bit heavy on my back after a while… I’m working up to it! She also likes her swing for a bit each day, which gives me a little break to get some things done around the house. 
We haven’t had a chance to thank everyone for their wonderful gifts and cards… working on it! Thanks everyone!
Me and the kids are heading to Fredericton for Easter Weekend so Rick has some time to study for his exam coming up next weekend … The Easter Bunny has been very good to Marshall
