a well deserved break...

not much new going on this week -- i decided not to take ella to the doctor friday. after spending some time on the good-old internet, i came to the conclusion that she probably wasnt allergic to my breastmilk -- and that she was just being a normal baby...i even read online that some breastfed babies dont go poo for up to a week because they use everything you are giving them -- which makes sense and i really feel like she had a BIG growth spurt this last week...

one an funnier note, rachel and i went shopping on thursday and i got to see her beautiful wedding dress -- and when we got home little miss ella finally went poo...this wasnt an ordinary poo and it was one you would have had to see to believe...but when i went to change her it just kept coming -- in fact i put three diapers on her before she was done...rachel and i couldnt stop laughing -- but honestly, if i would have been alone i probably would have broke down and cried and wouldnt have even known where to begin...luckily rachel was standing next to me with a garbage bag and we just kept throwing them in there...i really guess you would have had to of been there cause i couldnt stop laughing...

friday we went to get our santa pictures -- we put ella in her beautiful christmas dress (i even found tights at H&M that fit her), unfortunately she slept the entire time -- i guess i shouldnt have fed her as much as i did before we left --oh well, we got some good ones and will be using them for our holiday cards this year :)

today i finished another class, which put me at the half way point in completing my MBA. didnt think it would be too hard to go to school while being a mom, but boy was i wrong...it was so difficult entertaining ella while i worked on my final...luckily i have some great friends, one of which came over to keep ella and i company and to even change her stinky butt...(gotta love rachel) i think in the future i will have a babysitter for her though just cause it was so so so so hard getting it done, mostly because i spent so much time going back and fourth...i know what you are all thinking, "welcome to motherhood." anyways, i really cant wait to be all the way done with school, but until then, im gonna enjoy the next seven weeks off of school and probably start working out again cause i cant help but feel like a little chunker...
