New Records

I never thought I would ever find myself saying this, but I'm just so glad that Ellie's pooping patterns are improving. Now I think I am starting to know how the rest of you moms out there feel changing stinky diapers! I thought I would also update you that Ellie still does have her princess calendar....and she got a gold sticker the other day because she ate 100 mLs...yes, I know I need to start talking in ounces these days! So a little over 3 ounces! We're so proud and today, she impressed us again. Two records in one day: 3 stools and 680mL (for the day, so that would be around 22 ounces) !!! Wahoo! She's gotta be 10 pounds by now! ALSO .... HAPPY FIVE MONTH BIRTHDAY ELLIE! I seriously can't believe it's been that long! Happy Birthday to Uncle Greg and Uncle Wade too! Still smiling these days! Too fun...so sorry I haven't kept up with posting. Have a test coming up this week, so you might not hear from us again for a little while. For those of you who periodically check, I've decided I'm going to post every Saturday. :) Others during the week might just be extra surprises! :) We'll go back to the doctor next week, and believe it or not, but next week is when Ellie's due to get her next synagis shot. We got changed back to the first insurance, so hopefully THIS time, it'll be ok with out any major drama! Lord, we are so thankful for this precious gift of life who has now turned 5 months old! She is such a blessing to us. Please guide us as parents and help us to love and care for Ellie the best that we can amidst this busy student schedule we lead. We are forever grateful that you've provided for our needs thusfar. We rejoice in your creativity in our smiley little Ellie. Please be with the babies in the NICU tonight as I think of our time there often... Until next time...blessings from team gramkow!
