Good Morning

This is what we woke up to this morning. Ella rolled off the bed on Wednesday onto the laminate flooring in the basement. She screamed but I was able to calm her down easily. She didn't seem "damaged" from the fall just scared. Last night, after we got in and gave her a bath, I noticed her left side of her head is black and blue with a huge bruise. I just couldn't see it with all her hair. I called her pediatrician and was told to go get it checked out but because she doesn't seem different in personality and that it's been a couple of days she's probably fine. I felt so sick to see her all banged up. We're going to get her checked out just to make sure. Do moms ever not feel horribly guilty when their children are hurt?

We're Here!!!!

We flew into Honolulu at 2pm local time after a 9+ hour plane ride. Ella was so good. I nursed her as we took off and landed to prevent any ear discomfort. She slept a good chunk of the way and was flirting and chatting with everyone. People love babies! (well non-crying babies on planes...there were a few that weren't so good and they made Ella looked especially perfect).

It really was unbelievable that we were actually moving here. It wasn't until we landed and saw the turquoise water and swaying palm trees that it hit us. It really is beautiful here, the airport was gorgeous with all sorts of flowering trees and plants. So far what we've seen has looked like a post card! We picked up the rental car and checked into the Navy Lodge. We are on Ford Island in the middle of Pearl Harbor. Our hotel (extended stay) looks over a palm tree speckled grassy area, over the water and into Pearl Harbor. GORGEOUS!!!

We are exhausted and getting ready to bathe and hit the bed.
