Thus far she has been the exact opposite of Drew as a newborn. Drew cried often, slept little and didn't latch until he was 6 weeks old. Ella latched and began breastfeeding within the first hour after being born, has taken at least one 5 hour nap and doesn't cry unless she is hungry.
We were a little apprehensive as to how Drew would react to Ella. We worried for naught: they are buddies and Drew is very gentle with Ella.
We made it home today (Sunday) around noon. Ella got dressed up for the occasion. She is quite the snazzy dresser!
Thus far the experience has been about perfect. Ella is eating well, sleeping well, having fun with Drew and generally just enjoying being part of our family.
An important side note: Karen gave birth without any pain medication or an epidural! It was intense (to say the least) but went very quickly. Karen only had to push twice and out popped Ella.
We will update later with more pics and info. For now we're going to bed for the first time with Ella in her new home.
