Little Miss Model

Well, things have been going pretty good the last few days. Ellorah and I both had our 2 week check ups on Friday, and passed with flying colors.

Ellorah now weighs 8 lbs. 2 oz!

The doctor was very pleased with her weight gain. Made me feel good to know she is gaining well. My dr. visit went good also, I'm free to drive and take a nice hot bath again! yay! Showers are good, but nothing like a nice hot bath in the winter time. She also told me I need to get out of the house each day, and do 2 things per week just for myself...no baby. So, I'm gonna try to do that, and get a sense of normal back.

I drove myself to target and costco and home depot yesterday, and also to the scrapbooking store...Linda R. would be proud! I'm going to try and work on the baby book Ellorah's Aunt Kellie made for her. Speaking of, the little miss had her first "professional" photo shoot today, at Snowden studios. We got some great photos...and have posted them below...we also uploaded them to costco's website and had prints made...that is a pretty handy website, and the photos are cheap too! We printed about 134 pics, all different sizes and it was only $29! I spent that just in printer cartridges for my photo printer! It's very easy to do, and you can get all sorts of stuff, not just prints...but calendars, photo books, coffee mugs, cards, etc etc etc..pretty cool!

We had a visit yesterday and today from Nanny and Pepaw Snowden, and she got some good spoiling. Nanny even gave her a nice sponge bath, which she enjoyed. She really likes getting her hair washed too, which is odd to me, I thought she would be scared of that part, but she seemed to really enjoy it. Nothing like a good head massage I guess.

We also got out and went for a walk in the sunshine, elvis and annie got to go too, which I'm sure they appreciated...they've been cooped up for so long like the rest of us. Well, I will get off here for now, have a quick dinner...and I think I hear another nice hot bath calling my name! -Mistie
