Ella was excited to sleep in between her mom and dad. She loves going to bed and sleeping in the morning. Having her sleep with us is pretty easy since we have a king size bed in the back of the trailer. That way I also don't have to wake up to feed her and I can make sure she is staying warm enough. It can get pretty cold when we don't have hookups.
