Memoirs of a Zombie

This girl is a full time job by herself. I don't know how people with more kids than I have can do it. I feel like "Night of the Living Dead." It's just like when you bring a newborn home. No sleep, no brains, no ability to piece thoughts together let alone speak in coherent sentences. But hey, my Ellie is home and I get to hold her a lot!

Ellie is now 10 lbs 3 oz! She is very happy and has dimples in her elbows. She still throws up sometimes, but not as often, and usually not as violently. She is eating much better from a bottle, but it's going to be a long time before she can come off the feeding pump. She barely takes 30ish cc's three times a day. She needs to be taking around 100 cc's per feeding 8 times a day.

She adores her brothers and they love having her here.
