Today was Ellie’s first doctor’s appointment. It went very well. They didn’t do a lot, but she the couple of things that they checked went as they should have. She is back up to her birth weight and all signs of jaundice are gone. We’re just waiting on some burst blood vessels in her eye to heal and her cord to fall off. The eye should be normal anywhere from a week to a month. Her cord will probably last another week or so. All in all, it was a very good visit. Ellie’s healthy and we still like Dr Valentine (of course).

On the sleep topic…2 nights went well and last night went pretty poorly. We woke up at 1am and stayed that way until 5am. We’re trying to keep her awake tonight so she can sleep through the night. I hope it works. We really need the sleep. She’ll figure it out soon though; we’re more fun when we have slept more than 5 hours.
