Elinor is one week old!
We are having problems with the blog design at www.elinorstoll.com so we will keep posting here until we figure that out.
We can’t believe that Elinor will be a week old tomorrow! We finally uploaded some pics from the hospital and from her first week of life. Please check out this link. We tried to document all of her visitors but some were in and out so quickly we couldn’t get their pictures. There are still lots of people for her to meet…and we can’t wait for that.
The first week has been challenging but we made it through! Today I turned a corner in how I am feeling both physically and emotionally. It might be that good old sunshine shining in our windows, but whatever the case, it’s nice.
Elinor came home from the hospital with some neonatal jaundice due to a bit of head trauma during her birth. We have had a couple of doctor’s appointments and we found out today that she will not need treatment. Yay!
I am staying up with Elinor during the night and Burke is sleeping, so that during the day he can be more functional and do more of the household chores and I can nap. So far this is working well but do notice all the pictures of Burke sleeping! 🙂 My lack of sleep might catch up with me at some point.
We are loving being parents to this beautiful little girl. It’s hard to put into words all the emotions we’ve felt. Such intense happiness and joy….

These are wonderful photos! Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work!!!
I’m so happy for you two – you both look great and little Elinor is so incredibly precious. I LOVE the black and white pic of Burke and yawning Elinor. CONGRATS!!! We miss you already:)
My sympathies are with you with regard to lack of sleep. Putting them in bed with me during the night helped. Skin contact soothes a newborn. No I never rolled over on them, just rested while they were nursing and dozed off when or if they did.
Sweet dreams Julia and we are all wishing you and little Ellie the best.
