We decided last Friday to bundle her up and head to the pumpkin patch...yeah, i know what you are thinking -- did these two idiots really take their 13 day old daughter to the pumpkin patch...but please rest assured...we were there for literally 5 minutes, as there were no pumpkins left for us to grab...as a result...we took some pictures and were on the road to home :) however, it was a lot of fun to do something as a family :) stay tuned for the pictures of the pumpkins that we carved...

her and i sitting next to the same one
this last monday marked her two week check up at the doctors...where she was weighed...and guess what? she gained 7oz in 7 days...pretty much amazing....so all that eating is paying off...she now weighs a whopping 5lbs, 5oz - and i couldnt be happier...i cant wait till she is a little bit bigger so i dont feel like i am going to break her with every touch...below are some pictures from the appt...jon is holding her while they draw her blood for the pku -- and believe it or not, but she slept through the whole thing...
here are some random pictures from this last week that i liked...i cant believe how much i love this little girl...she seriously completes me and i dont think i have ever been this happy in my entire life...however, i have a ton of anxiety right now...im terrified to take her anywhere because im scared that when i turn a corner that i will go too fast and her head will fall off...did anyone else feel this way or am i just super weird? jessy suggested that i join a mothers group -- that way i can talk to other new moms...cause she assured me that im probably not the only one who fears this type of thing...i dont know...its just wierd...im so scared that i am going to break her that i dont want to go any where...she is just so tiny and when i put her in that car seat...it just doesnt seem right...the buckle takes up her whole little body...ehh..im so weird....

Yaaaaaaaaaay! I'm so happy you posted pics! I'm very proud of you and I promise I will come visit you soon. I'm sorry you've been feeling lonely, things will get better for sure. Once you feel a little bit more comfortable with her in the car seat, you will be all over the place! Don't worry :) Get as much rest as you can right now! I'll ask Lisa about the peps group.
Love, Me :)
Ahh, you can hardly even tell she's in there in some of those photos! It was so good to talk to you last week, and we will definitely be doing it again soon! I'm so happy Miss Ella is gaining weight-already getting to be a big girl! So happy for you, you deserve it=)
