Ella Grace came in to the world at 5:25pm on Saturday July 19. She was 7lbs 11oz and 21in! My water broke around 12:00 Saturday afternoon. I called Dustin at work and told him what happened, he made it home in record time, he didn't know that we had a while before the baby would be here. Everything went well with the delivery. I was running a high fever after the delivery, so they did blood work on Ella to see if i had passed an infection to her during delivery and found that she had a really high immature white blood cell count. She ended up getting admitted into the special care unit for a few days after i was discharged. Her cultures came back negative so she was able to come home but, she was really jaundice, so she had to say to be under lights for two days. After a crazy week we were able to bring her home!
Ella is such a sweet baby, she reminds me so much of what Madelynn looked like when she was a newborn! We are so excited to have her here. Madelynn loves being a big sister and helping get diapers and burp cloths for me. She had a ruff few days with having no mom and her life being turned up side down but, after a few days of me being home and her aunt ClaireBear being here she is doing great!
Okay...I think the girls look so much. What do you think?

Congratulations! We're so happy for you and so glad all is well and she's home with you. Love the name -- Ella Fitzgerald is my all-time favorite female vocalist. Congrats again -- hope you're able to rest and recover a bit. Hooray for new babies!
I think they look alike too! Congratulations can't wait to meet her!
Oh my goodness! I am so happy for you guys! We've been totally out of it since we're on vacation and this is the first time I've checked my blog. Congratulations!!! I'm so glad that you and sweet little Ella are doing well. It's so much fun to be a mom of two girls. We'll bring you dinner when we get back to AZ. Congratulations again.
