Well I have been a mother for three weeks now and it's amazing! It's VERY hard to believe that three weeks ago (and a few more hours) she wasn't even here....WOW!!! Time has gone by super fast :( I am getting to know Miss Stephanie and her little quirks....I'm much better today at meeting her needs and know I will only get better at it. We went to a WONDERFUL store today called The Nesting Place and got another sling, some "miracle blankets" and found PLENTY of other things she and I will go back and pick up later. It is run (possibly owned) by a lactation consultant and she had plenty of tips and tricks for us. I'm sure we'll be spending plenty of time (and money) at the store :) (They do have a website, go check them out!)
We also went today to the Texas Teddy Bear Factory and built Stephanie's "Daddy Bear". I went there before school was out so it was empty. A friend (Kristin Ray) suggested that we take Stephanie's picture with one stuffed animal over the weeks/months and it's an easy way to see how much she is growing....LOVE the idea! So, of course, we had to go get a special bear for this :) Her first little "Daddy Bear" photo shoot are posted below....I took TONS of pictures...she went through a ton of emotions! Happy, Mad, REALLY mad, sleepy and then just cute and happy. Enjoy!
Oh my gosh Kristi...your daughter is GORGEOUS!!! She really is the cutest little girl I have ever seen. the sleeping picture with the teddy bear is SUPER cute. I am so glad that we are moms together...it is fun to go through this journey together. Love all three of you and always keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
