New Photos and a Scheduled Visit!

In her swing

Eleanor is nearly a month old.  She does a pretty good job of sleeping at night, but she still needs to eat every three hours, leaving me to sleep in two hour chunks, which was not something I had expected.  Matt does a phenomenal job of helping by either taking care of the feeding and letting me sleep or feeding E while I pump.  I would love to save time and just have her drink what's "on tap," but the hospital had her on a pretty strict eating schedule and the little girl has a history of falling asleep at the bar.  However, she drinks from a bottle in her sleep and as long as she is eating and gaining weight, I can't complain... too much.

Eleanor makes some pretty fabulous faces.  There are so many I could watch her all day, which is partially why the blog is not updated on a regular basis.  So many people know that writing is a passion of mine and I would love to pour my heart and soul into this and other projects, but babies are just so hard to peel from the arms of their mommies.  Here's a taste of Eleanor.

Oh, and a note for those who are local, Eleanor will be heading to Zionsville on Friday, August 22.  Anyone who is interested can meet us at the Starbucks in Boone Village around 1:15.  Yes, the library is the natural place to meet, but it is closed that day.
