We have a piggy on our hands, yepper doodles, Miss Ellah Grace Taylor is weighing in at a whopping 5lbs 3.8oz....she gained 2.8 oz just today and she even pooped. The nurse told us that is amazing, since she performed such a large duty and still gained that much. She has now moved to a 2 breast and 2 bottle feedings a day. She is just doing fabulous, we have surely been blessed. We are hoping to go home soon. It will be so nice to be at OUR home and just relax with our bundle of joy.
So today Daddy gave Ellah her first bath, our stinky little girl needed one. Those large feet of hers were getting a little stinky, like Daddy. She loved it, just relaxed, very relaxed, in fact she just let it all come out, luckily it was towards the end of her bath.
Man she is so cute! And so little, but not surprisingly gaining weight! I knew she'd be a trooper! And could you imagine going almost 2 weeks without a bath? Whew! Hope you guys can get home soon!
