palm sunday

last night ella slept until three a.m. then i heard her crying and went in to check on her and she'd flipped over onto her belly and didn't know what to do. also, her hands were cold. so i scooped her up and brought her into bed with us and we all slept just fine.



we made it to church today. this is the third time since ella was born. the first was christmas eve, and j. ended up walking up and down the side aisle throughout the sermon. the second time was about two months ago, and i ended up downstairs pacing around and then we left early because ella was falling apart. this time we went to a church close by and got there early enough to check out the nursery. there was a really nice woman in there and none of the other children were as young as elenora, so she could be held as much as was needed. i was a little concerned that they didn't have any kind of a pager system, but in the end elenora had a pretty good time and j. and i actually got to sit together and listen to the whole service. it felt really good. i know both of us have really missed that in our lives, and we're starting to feel the lack in our attitudes.



by the time we got home, elenora was really tired. i put her down, but ten minutes of crying later i peeked in and she was on her belly again. i readjusted the little sleep positioner in her crib and ten minutes later she was fast asleep.



she slept for two hours straight.



tonight when i laid her down she fussed for about two minutes and then we haven't heard a peep from her since (2 and 1/2 hours later). she's just amazing.



so now i'm going to watch a movie with j. in our bed... something we haven't done since before elenora was born. yay!
