...1 week...

ella 5 days 096


I might have tears while I'm writing this, and don't make fun. My baby is a week old. I hate that. It sounds terrible to me. Only because that means soon she'll be 1 month old, then 1 year, and so on. I LOVE babies!!! I can't get enough of them, especially my own. Anyone know how to magically stop a baby from growing? She is the sweetest little thing, and I have loved every second of her 7 days of life. Her sisters are becoming fans of hers too:) In fact they'll even stop what they are doing and run over to give her a kiss every once in a while. How lucky they all are to have sisters. There really is nothing better- I love all of mine so much! I feel so blessed to have three little girls, and a wonderful husband to be their dad. It's a little obnoxious how much Lauren & Hallie love him...I'm secretly hoping this little girl Ella might love her mom:) Maybe that's why I haven't put her down yet in her little 7 days of life...

Oh Chels...she is precious. I love the pic, nice work. I really want you to take our family pics this spring. What do you think? I just LOVE your style!

Leslie said...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just so you know, I can't take it either. I really can't. It's a good thing I am so far away or I might just squish her until she popped! So happy to hear you are enjoying every second of the experience. I will call you soon. Love to all you beautiful ladies!

Jamie said...

Chels,
I am SOOOO with you! I cried the day Easton was a week old, because then it was one month, then two, and very soon he will be three months old! It's so hard for me to understand that. I held him every second of everyday and finally put him down for a sec when he was 4 weeks old! You have to be able to just soak up every second you can with them!
You really have the most adorable little girls. Having sisters is the best thing, they are very lucky. You are such a cute mom! You did great work- the baby and the pictures! Make sure to post lots more soon! I love them!

Bethany said...

K you have heard it a dozen times but she is beautiful and even more beautiful in person. Sorry I didnt' get to see you when I came, you had just barley left for a freshen up ") Can't wait to hold the little dear!

Jillyn said...

Oh what a doll! I am glad you are doing so well! Ofcourse one must seem like a piece of cake after twins! I am glad it is making me excited for my own!

And then all of a sudden they're five and three and you can barely remember what it was like when they were one week old. I hate when that feeling fades. Those first few months are so special. I love the spirit that surrounds them. That's why I get mad when people tell me you shouldn't hold your baby all the time. Hold her all you want. She's so pretty. I love her and I'm going to come hold her again.

Congratulations Chelsea, I love having a girl. I hope I have more of them! She is absolutely adorable, and it really isn't fair how cute you look after just giving birth either.

Emmett and Ashlee said...

She is beautiful. Congrats you guys. Isn't crazy how much more simple just one baby is. It is crazy to see the difference. I love the name. Good work.

Jessie said...

Oh Chelsea she is adorable! Congratulations! I love having a new little baby in my home they have such sweet spirits! They do grow up way to fast! I love her name:)

Tai and Joe said...

Oh man she is adorable. Congrats on the new addition. I really like her name too.

Julie said...

She is beautiful, congrats! Enjoy every moment!

Allyson said...

I think the reason why we don't have kids yet is because I just know they will only love Kevin...so it terrifies me.:) Just kidding...I know your girls will all want to grow up to be just like their mom. She is beautiful! Can't wait to see 4 more of them--please? So I can live vicariously through someone...:)

Tristie hearts Dax said...
