This first week home with Ella has been so wonderful! We have had many visitors stop by, our neighbor made us dinner one evening, and my best friend, Lyndsey, has been here since the 10th to help out. Ella is such a sweet baby and we are so in love with her. When I was pregnant I couldn't imagine loving another child the same way I do Nicholas, but now I realize that my heart is always in two places at once. I love both of our kiddos so very much and am so blessed to be a mommy to two little cherubs. I can't even remember what life was like without her!
