The above photo is one of my favorite photos and was snapped in the early morning hours of her 3rd day of life. She was a terrible sleeper and Marc would snuggle her on the couch so I could catch a few hours of sleep here and there. Seriously, without him I would NOT have survived those first few weeks. Thank goodness for such a patient and giving husband and father.
The photo below was shot right around midnight on her 1 month birthday. Still not a great sleeper so I had rocked her, swaddled her, let her fuss and finally put her in her bouncy to see if she'd sleep. No dice. But isn't she ADORABLE? She still looks the same today on her 2 month birthday, just a little chunkier and a much better sleeper. Thank you, BABYWISE!!!
Life with 4 is a little crazy but definitely managable. I'm sitting here on the tail end of summer realizing WE MADE IT! At the end of every week I think: we survived another one! When summer began I certainly wasn't sure if we'd survive it but we have and aren't too much worse for the wear.

She is adorable. Congrats, again!
In love.. only 2 more months and I get to meet that pretty girl.
You better not quit blogging! As it is, I think we are the only 2 bloggers left, don't abandon me! No, I totally understand. #4 has been the hardest adjustment for me too and my kids aren't nearly as close in age as yours. I love hearing your stories and was excited to see pictures of little Ella, it sounds like she's a diva already :) She's beautiful and I hope you both manage to get some sleep!
You are amazing, Diana! Those first few months are always so hard, especially when sleep is sketchy. I am glad she is sleeping better now, woohoo!!! And yes, that little darling girl is SO SO SO adorable! Do not quit blogging, even sporadic posts are welcome. :)
BEAUTIFUL little girl!!! So happy she is doing so well and that you are doing so well with 4. I know what you mean--you look back and say, "Yeah, I did it!" You CAN do hard things! ;) Way to go, guys. Ella is just precious. PLEASE keep up the blog though. Everyone keeps falling off the blogging wagon and into FB land. :( Stay strong--long live Blogger!! ha ha.
So good to see you tonight, and to hear in person about sweet little Ella. Congrats on making it through the summer, and lets figure out how to see eachother on purpose one of these days! love ya!
