I could just eat her...

She makes me want to have more&more&more... she is such a gift from God! What an angel she is. I love her, I love her, I love her.... I don't care about going out and date nights because it's just too soon that this favored stage will be gone and she will be grown! So I'll be happy with catching every moment and being her one and only!

Estelle's almost two months

I cannot believe how fast time has gone. I wish it would slow down! Estelle is just the sweetest, happiest, most adorable thing. The other day I was nuzzling her and I just thought... it's not right to love someone this much!

Estelle Lucy is here!

After postponing the c-section from Wednesday to Thursday (thanks to catching a stomach flu on Monday) we are so excited to welcome Stella to our family. Everything went well other than a little longer to cut through some really tough scar tissue.

Stella was
born at 7:49am

on July 9, 2009

Weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz.

18 1/2 inches long

With McCall

With Elizabeth

With Claire

She is such a doll, we love her and Mom got to spend lots of good one-on-one time in the hospital with Stella as the girls caught the stomach bug Thursday night, and Friday. Erik stayed home and took care of the girls, briefly running over for and hour here and there on Friday and Saturday to visit while others watched the girls at home.

I was really missing the girls by Saturday night but was glad they were taken well care of at home and I certainly didn't want them at the hospital exposing our baby or anyone else. We brought Stella home today, Sunday, and are just loving cuddling, kissing and adoring every inch of her. Here she is ready to leave the hospital.

Just call us...

GIRLS!!!!!!!

We just found out we are having another girl! We are really excited. McCall has been hoping for a girl so she is just thrilled about all of it. Elizabeth wanted a boy, but then jumped on board with McCall in recent months. Claire doesn't understand anything other than it's fun to push in my belly button. Erik, for a moment he shook his head but seems excited -- poor guy -- a whole house full of girls! But we couldn't ask for a better man to head this home and make us all happy!
