MIA with a new baby girl

I know that's what I have been the past few months. I've been quite the busy bee ...being in the last trimester of my pregnancy, moving back on post, chasing my two around , and the husband coming home from deployment.  Well Im proud to say we now have a 2 week old baby girl .

I didn't start cloth with my dd Emmy till she was around 9 months, and we are doing cloth with Ella now so it's a new experience :) I'll be reviewing some newborn diapers in the next entry.

Miss Ella weighed 7lbs 6oz when she was born and was 20 & 1/2 cm long. She lost down to 7lbs 1 oz before we left the hospital but at 4 days old had gained back to 7lbs and 4 oz. We go back to the dr this morning and I just know she is around 8lbs now as much as she nurses. She sleeps much more than my other kids did and is actually a quite easy baby:) She does love to sleep on mommas chest of course though:) AND she grunts and makes tons of noise in her sleep lol so I'm always checking on her. Adjusting to three kids is  not all that bad and Emmy is not as jealous as we thought she was going to be. :)
