Ellie is already one pretty awesome big sister. She came to the hospital Friday morning to meet Ruby. She was so excited to see her and from the first encounter was just as sweet as can be. She brought her favorite breakfast---donut holes of course, to the hospital and so before she really got into introductions with the new baby she sat with me and ate them up!
We made sure Ruby was in the crib when Ellie came in, thinking that was neutral...and meant that none of her favorite people was holding the new baby. At the hospital she held out her hands and said "hold you Ruby!" Anytime the baby cries Ellie wants us to "pick up" or "hold you." Here are a couple of pictures from the hospital---
We missed Ellie while we were at the hospital but my mom and Aunt Zoe took amazing care of her as always. I was so glad that we didn't have to worry about her while we were in the hospital with Ruby! Thanks guys! We did get to talk to her on the phone often and she even did Facetime with baby Ruby!
She of course is intrigued with Ruby nursing and spends a lot of time studying that whole situation. We had some people over the other night and so she had to peek under the cover-up to check things out!
We finally found the perfect spot for Ellie to sit while Ruby is nursing. She has her own "seat" on the foot rest of the recliner. It is really nice because she can sit there and feel like I'm holding her but she can't interfere with Ruby eating. So happy we figured out this arrangement!
She is very helpful with making sure we are adequately stocked with blankets, pacis, and diapers and loves to see if Baby Ruby is awake or sleeping. Of course the most exciting thing for her is when Ruby poops! When she came to visit in the hospital I was changing Ruby's diaper and Ellie was watching and at that moment Ruby started pooping...oh my goodness!!! the poop was meconium, a little different than what Ellie is used to and for some reason she thought it was a bug. So now every time Ruby poops, or she is talking about Ruby's poop she says..."Yuck, Buggie, Wipe!!!" Pretty hilarious!
