What a difference "some" days make!

So this is our little girl! She really seems pretty normal to me.
Thanks to whomever invented cooling! Our baby seems like a baby!
That being said there are two things that are alarming, one is that she doesn't cry, not even once has she cried. She has made sad fussy faces, some sounds, but no cries. Two- she sometimes forgets to breathe while she is "eating". I have to help her while we nurse, I pull her off, to help remind her to take some breathes. Most of the time, she will figure it out and pace herself, but not always does she remember. This could be potentially dangerous, especially if I was to fall asleep. So, I am becoming an alert nurser! Her tells that she is not remembering to breathe are continual sucking and swallowing no pauses, and her space between her nose and lip will turn a gray or dusty color.
Look at what the nurses chose to dress her in on Saturday, after she pooped all over nurse Jessica! Good girl Ellie pooping on a nurse and not on mommy!


This is what she is wearing currently, unless she has had another blowout! :)

Mark and Hank left about half way through Sacrament meeting, which we have last. Hank was being pretty irreverant! They came to the hospital to pick me up. We stayed a few more minutes while Mark held Ellie, she is a little stinker, she rarely is awake when Mark is at the hospital.

This is the breif moment Hank was half way still today at the hosptial! It was lunch time, so he was hungry and he is two! So!!
One of my favorite songs is "What a Difference a Day Makes" one version sung by Louie Armstrong! Each day is making a differnence is our little girl!
Thank you for all your prayers and love!
