Our Hospital Stay... When Ella was born!

We were in the hospital for 3 nights and 3 days when we had Ella! We had A LOT of visitors and I have been wanting to blog about since we got home from the hospital... A YEAR AGO. haha So here's to memories that are  "better late than never!"

We LOVED having so many friends and family come to see us and meet our sweet little girl! It helped pass the time so much and it's such an exciting time that you just want people to celebrate with you! Even Ella wanted to celebrate on the 2nd night of her life by crying from 10pm-2am. So. Many. Tears... shed by Ella & Mama and Daddy didn't know what to do or think. But he was AMAZING! (He spoon fed me macaroni & cheese and ice cold sprite after we FINALLY calmed her down at 2 am!!)
