Ella never sleeps

Mostly Ella is a very friendly mother, like this:



Only she just couldn't keep from twisting off Ida's umbilical cord!



And then when Ida fell asleep on boob #2, Ella put her in the cold baking dish:



Heading toward eight pounds, our girl.

The cord fell off by itself! No twisting!

Pushing 8 pounds with or without the hand on the scale?

That's pretty harsh with the bare glass baking dish. I think I have a picture of the late Himeko resting in a casserole pan much like this one.

Ida Mae, a word of advice: sometimes your dad likes to embellish. For instance, your mom definitely has some OCD qualities but no way would she worry off your cord! Pure rubbish. Did you know that she was called "Sweet Ella" when she was younger? In college, she was known affectionately as "Smella" and had a penchant for screaming in the streets of New Haven. It's true. Just ask her.
