Our little bundle of joy entered the world 5 weeks early on January 16, 2009. Ella Grace Ryll weighed in at 4lbs. 14oz. and was 17 in. long. Mommy and daddy were very relieved that she did not have to go to the NICU due to her prematurity. Ella came out a fighter and we couldn't have been happier.
About a month after we brought her home, our little princess somehow caught RSV. Daddy was away on a business trip in Minnesota and mommy was home alone with me. Mommy rushed me to the emergency room and met grandma and grandpa there for support. Daddy was flown back home early by his work to see his little "Ella Bella." Ella was in the hospital for a week before finally coming home. After that traumatic event, we took no chances and kept her at home until she was 3.5 months old.
Who would have thought 4 months after her birth, our little miss would be growing so quickly? Ella is weighing in at approximately 13-14 lbs. Not sure exactly until we go in next week for her 4 month shots.
At four months old, Ella is a smiling, happy baby. We absolutely are loving her "goo-goo's and ga- ga's" as her way of communicating. She has recently become very drooley and we are wondering if she will be cutting some teeth soon. We'll just have to wait and see.
