Well Ellie, we survived our first few days alone together. That first day, when Grandma and Grandpa left, was a tough one. You seemed to feel Mommy's stress and wouldn't stop crying (which of course didn't help the stress level). Daddy was greeted with tears from both of his girls when he got home that night...probably not the welcome he was hoping for.
After that you and I figured it out though. We make quite a team! Doing things with only one hand is becoming second nature. I'm trying to sleep when you sleep, but that's so much easier said than done. I do get at least a little shut-eye while you're dreaming away, but I also try to keep up with a few things like laundry and your brother Rockne. He's feeling quite left out these days, so Mommy tries to play with him a little outside when you're fast asleep - thank goodness for the hand-held baby monitor!
Your Mimi and Ga arrive tomorrow, so our time alone will be put on hold for another few weeks. In fact, I have a feeling that I'm going to miss you...I'm not sure Mimi is going to let you go once she gets a hold of you! You're going to love visiting with them. They can't wait to meet you Little Ellie!
