Sweet Stella

SMILES!!!

My gorgeous baby smiled at me today! I think she had smiled a couple times, but don't know if it was on purpose. Oh, it is so wonderful. She did a huge grin, but I didn't get that on camera. Then 10 minutes later, I got a milestone email about My Baby at 6 Weeks. It said Has your baby smiled at you yet? Haha! Awesome!

Stella's First Easter

Stella had a great Easter, and she looked so cute in her dress! We went to church for the first time, and she was really good! We also saw Aunt LuAnn & Erin. Then we went to Aunt Lisa's house for their Easter get together. We saw Bob, Becky, Anna, Michael, Mary & Amy; Lisa, Craig, and Patrick; Mark & Terri; Abbey, Paul & Wesley. We were going to go to David's, but I was so tired I could have fallen asleep in the car. Here she is!

When we got home after all the Easter excitement, I found Stella's first TICK! UGH! Not cool.

Fun at Grammy & Pawpaw's!

Today Stella took her first trip to Grammy & Pawpaw's house. I wish I had taken pictures, but I didn't. We had fun, and we stopped down and saw Aunt LuAnn, Uncle Danny & Erin! She really is such a good baby! I just love her so much. Tomorrow is Easter, so we will take lots of pictures then!!

Growing!

Yay, Stella is 7 lbs 7.6 oz today!! I am so happy. We had more weight loss around 3 weeks. So, I started nursing, bottle w/2 oz. and pumping. It was so exhausting! I did that for 5 days and she went up 6.4 oz. Once I had been doing it for a whole week I was so completely frazzled. I was having trouble getting anything done. So, I decided to stop the nursing, and exclusively pump. It has been 2 days, and I feel so much better. Everyone has been really supportive and helpful.

We had a photographer come to the house today & take photos. It went really well,
and I can't wait to see the photos.

Stella is so sweet, I am so in love! Can't wait to see her in her Easter dress Sunday!
