We made it through the first night - which was VERY scary for me! I was going through monitor withdrawal - which I hated. I became so dependent on the vitals monitor and tests to tell me that Ella was okay. Therefore, I hardly got any sleep worrying about if Ella was still breathing (even though she hasn't had any respiratory issues).
But after our first pediatrician appointment today, Dr. Trask made me feel much better by reminding me to take care of Ella as her mom not her nurse - which I think I was starting to feeling like in the NICU.
Other than Ella's first doctor's appointment, Ella received her first bath at home which she was not so fond of. Ella and I also took a nice long nap together - she's so snuggly!!
Thanks for all the e-mails!

WELCOME HOME!!! We've been thinking about you like crazy and hoping and praying for a quick and speedy recovery. Ella is in VERY capable hands, never question that for a second!
Keep us posted on things and get some rest when you can. The fun has only JUST begun!
With love to all of you --
Jen & Chris
and of course, Riley, Nate & Ronan
I'm sure after the week-end, you're all settled in. We saw you guys taking Ella for her 1st stroll on the bike trail; what a great thing to see!
No sleep worrying that she's breathing...welcome to motherhood-I'm STILL like that when the boys get sick! You guys are great parents. Please call your neighbors when you need something, even if you need something at the store-I'm always out & about.
Congratulations on your beautiful family.
