Pretty in Pink

Who says you can't do bubbles while there is snow on the ground? This is going to be a good one.
Dancing and singing to I'm So Excited.
Baby aerobics.
Loving every minute of it.

Brotherly Love

When we brought Stella home Jonas wanted to hold her and he kissed her on his own and hasn't stopped since then. What was that noise?
Protective arm.
Let's pinkie swear that we will always be the best of friends.
Brother...I thought I was your best friend!!!

Visitors

Hello Stella, I'm your big brother Jonas. Don't worry Stella, we'll teach you all you need to know about anything.
The three amigos have now become 4!
Amy- thanks for watching Jonas, we never have to worry about him. (The only problem is that he didn't want to talk to us the whole time we were in the hospital because he had better things to do with the girls).
Joy and Abigail (For some reason I keep calling her Abigail all the time and the only I can think about is my mom always calling me Joy, I'll get it down soon).
Kristy brought us our first girly clothes, they were so cute.
Aggie got a smile.
Jeff-Ok, maybe a girl isn't so bad after all.
Jonathan and Connor-Connor I know you'll have fun with her even though you think boys are better.
Jonathan-An old pro at this baby stuff (look at her arm as well).
Shawn giving her some advice about the boys.
Marion showing her purple pride.
Grandma Debbie as we all know she'll be known as.
Niki-Stella is wondering how you will spoil her.
Bill and Stella chatting it up.
Shannon checking out the little munchkin.
Aunt Ruth and Mike stopped in to meet little Stella and share some good thoughts about her birthday month and name sake.

Ready To Go Home

All the toes and fingers have been counted and we were given the go ahead to bring her home. Monkey toes. Although the pinkie has a little hook, it was still perfect to us.
The outfit I was brought home in.
The hospital gave us the hat and Michelle and Shawn rounded out the look with the cute booties.

She's Here!

Stella Maxine was born Feb 24. The suspense was killing me as to what we were having and even though we had to battle freezing rain it was well worth the wait. She is absolutely amazing and made our family complete. It wouldn't be the same if I didn't post a picture of Tracy getting ready for delivery. The tension of surgery was definitely broken by all the laughs the three of us had getting her in this outfit. 8lbs 9oz and 18 and 1/2 inches long.
Wide awake in the recovery room.
Proud Momma!
Getting a little lovin from Aunt Michelle.
And be good for your mommas and always do what they say...instructions from Dr. Schlichter.
Success.
Our little angel.
