3 months old already!

I can't believe she is 3 months old already. It seems like just yesterday! We can't get over how blessed we are to have her. She brightens every single day!!

Ella in her Bumbo seat, she can't decide if she likes it or not!
" Ok, I guess this is kinda fun!!"
"Look at me!!!"

First Day Back

Today was my first day back to work! I started a new job...I will be working at all of Clarian's Hospitals in their Pediatric Intensive Care Units; Methodist Hospital in downtown Indianapolis, Riley Children's' Hospital (I will be in the Burn Unit, the Stem Cell Transplant Unit, the PICU, the Infant ICU, and the ER), Clarian North which is in Carmel and University Hospital (their Special Care Nursery) which is also in downtown Indianapolis. I will float between all of those hospitals and work 3 12 hour shifts from 3pm to 3am. Grandma Judy will be helping with Ella until daddy gets home! For this first couple of weeks I am orienting to the units, so the hours are different. Great Aunt Amy is coming to stay with Ella and then Great Grandpa and Grandma Cheely are going to stay a few nights! We are so thankful to have family that is so willing to help! We can't thank them enough!!!

Today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm not sure that I am going to stop holding her though...

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all!! We celebrated by taking Ella to visit Grandpa and Grandma McGrath while Scott and I had lunch at Maggiano's...it was great as usual. Then we had a nice night at home!! I'll try to get the other pictures of her in her V-Day outfit, an adorable dress she got from her friend Izabella Maines!! But here is a picture of Scott and Ella on V-Day!!
