My family threw a great shower for us on Sunday and it was fun to have Ellie there even though that wasn't the original plan. We were so fortunate to get so many amazing gifts. Everyone was so generous and we really appreciate it! Today I'm busy organizing everything and getting the nursery set up now that we know a little better how we want it.
We also celebrated "Christmas" at the Hansen household because it was the first time we could get together. Ellie got to wear Vera's Santa suit from last year. Too cute! It is funny because we thought there was no way she'd be wearing a newborn sized Christmas outfit.
Ellie is already changing so much. She is a lot more aware than she was the first week and seems to really enjoy looking at our faces and checking out things around her. She is sleeping really well at night most of the time. She wakes up every 2-3 hours but in general eats and goes back to sleep. She finally has nursing down and so that is a major relief. The first few days were really really tough with that... now I know why people quit breastfeeding! It was super frustrating. We have discovered that she loves being held in the Moby Wrap...and it is great for us because we get to cuddle with her but still get work done. Check out how cute she is in there:
