4 Weeks!
Little Miss "Ella Bella Cinderella" is doing great. Robin and I continue to marvel at her and watch her grow - she went to her 4-week check-up yesterday and she weighed 9 lbs, 4 oz! 
She is showing off her big blue eyes more and more (when she's not sleeping) and we are so enthralled with her!
Ella has had an opportunity to meet lots of new family members in the last few weeks - grandparents Rob & Trish; her great Maw Maw Salley on her 84th birthday; her great Maw Maw & Paw Paw Scott; her uncle Chris and cousins Reid and Emma; and her uncle Tim, aunt Karen and cousins Emerson, Phoebe, and Bateman who stopped in on their way back to Austin, TX this past Monday. All of these plus granparents Ed & Donna, and aunts Lauren, Sharon, and Kelly whom she met in the first few hours/days of her life.
We are still trying to figure out Ella's sleep pattern (or lack of one) - unfortunately for sleep's sake she seems to have her days and nights confused. Every couple of nights she will do "great" where WE are waking HER (to feed). While we (especially Robin) are tired, we continue to keep in mind and recall that after losing Matthew we told each other we would give anything to have those sleepless nights back - and it puts it right back into perspective.
A couple of Saturdays ago we had an incredible photographer come to the house and take pictures of our family - mostly of Ella (pics courtesy of AGR above and below). Robin came in contact with her through her friend Dayna who lost their precious daughter Hayley to AML Leukemia on December 19, 2004; and who had a son, Jacob, on May 29 of this year. She and Robin have been such an encouragement to one another over the past year and a half.
In closing, we want to thank all those who graciously brought dinners to us over this past month - the meals were delicious and very convenient! Thanks again!
