The past two weeks have flown by! I cannot believe that its only been 14 days since Ellis came into this world! I'm already dreading going back to work in six weeks! I am definitely not wishing away this time that I get to stay at home with Ellis. Today is actually our first day alone together, as Brad went back to work and my mom went back to Brewton. It's going well so far, it's been a relatively quiet day. Please enjoy the pictures taken over the past two weeks, I'm going to try hard to continue to keep up on my blogging as it has taken all day to load these dang pictures! :)
In our coordinating blue outfits!

Ellis had his bilirubin level checked on Thanksgiving morning at 4 am.
Unfortunately his level was so high it was almost off the charts, so he had to go under the bili lights and have formula to flush out his system the remainder of our stay in the hospital.

I dirtied up my first outfit at the doctor's office, good thing Mom remembered to pack another outfit! Too bad she forgot the top to the bottle so I could eat though, guess she'll get lots of practice packing the diaper bag!
