All about My Girls!


It has been a week since Stella was born and it already feels like she has been a part of our family forever! Despite the jaundice and the constant to the pediatrician/hospital every other day she has been a very easy baby (so far, fingers crossed). Her billirubin count is finally on its way down so by Tuesday we should be done with the blood work! She has been eating a ton and having no problems going between the breast and formula supplement. Basically if it is put in front of her she is going to eat and eat a lot! Soooooooo different from Madison who would peck away at about 1/2 an ounce and fall asleep no matter what we tried! Stella has no problem guzzling up to 3 ounces and then sleeping for 3-4 hours. For now we've been waking her for feedings in order to get rid of the jaundice during the day but it is so nice only getting up about 2 times at night! I definitely don't feel like a walking zombie who needs to go to bed at 7 p.m. every night! We'll see what happens next week when Justin is back at work though.

Madison is the best big sister and is sooooooo interested in EVERYTHING that the baby does. At times it gets a little trying but nothing she does is malicious so I can't complain!

I guess that is about all for now. Remember to enter my giveaway by 5:00pm today for a Soda Club Fountain Jet 'cause we are choosing a time tonight and announcing the winner tomorrow. Good luck!
