Ellie Belly!

I sure wish I could get my editing software to work so I could change the background on these pictures.  Ell spends a ton of time in this little bouncer.  She sleeps in it and I'm a little afraid that she is getting dependent on the vibrating of the chair.  She is a pretty good baby.  She is pretty gassy so she has a couple hours of crying during the day until her belly feels better.  It's not always that long but she really struggles after she eats.  If her belly doesn't hurt, she is an angel.  She nurses great and is taking a bottle pretty well also.  Good thing since I agreed to do the Wasatch Back Relay in about 9 weeks. 

Crazy you say?  Yes, I think I might be.  I have started working out and it feels so good to be back at it.  I should admit that it is EXTREMELY depressing going from the best shape of you life to a chubby bunny that can't run all that great.  Really, really depressing but I'm getting over it because I really have no other choice.  I think I'll be able to get in shape.  I've gone anywhere from 2-5 miles this week so I think 9 weeks should be enough time, I hope!  Oh the things we do for these beauty's!  Dan's busy season is winding down and we could NOT be happier.  Seriously I almost cried when he came home at 6 o'clock tonight.  Real, honest tears.  Yes, I am still pretty hormonal but I hated busy season, HATED it!  So nice to have him home more.  

She is getting chubby and I love it.  Her face is definitely getting more round and her legs are starting to get rolls.  Yummy!  Sam really is a great big brother.  I have a feeling they are going to be great friends!  Being a parent is hard work but I love it!  I feel so, so blessed to have two  healthy kids.
