This blog is for you. You two girls are the greatest blessings of my life. I have so many things I want to tell you. So many funny and crazy and exhausting things you do, and I want to be sure you know about them. I don't want to forget a single thing, and this is the best way I can document for you. I'll be playing catch-up, but I'll do my best to fill you in on all the things that make you two girls so awesome.

Jewel, our first delightful and sunshine-filled girl. You are so stinkin' sweet and fun. This is a picture of me and you minutes after you were born. You had finally calmed down. You came out with your arms swinging and mouth wide open- screaming! Your Daddy and Nana were right beside me when you were born. Dr. Roberts (a rockstar) delivered you, and labor was pretty breezey, compared to what it could've been.

Stella, you were immediately a calm and sweet baby. A great sleeper. A big smiler. You are such a big fan of your big sister, and she loves on you as often as I will let her. By the time this picture was taken, you were an hour or two old, but still brand new. Labor with you was long, more than 24 hours, and I was exhausted. But, nothing could stifle my excitement about meeting you. Dr. Jennelle delivered you. Daddy and Nana were there, just like with your big sister. Toward the end of my pregnancy, you decided you didn't like standing on your head. Dr. Roberts had to flip you around from the outside! Painful for Mama, but worth it!
Here are your stats:
Jewel 7lbs. 6oz. 20 inches; born at 39 weeks and 4 days gestation.
Stella 9lbs. 1oz. 21 inches; born at 39 weeks and 5 days gestation.
38 weeks - Jewel 38 weeks - Stella
I am so thankful to be your Mama, both of you. I can't imagine my life without either one of you. I look forward to reflecting back on the really fun things about your lives and little reasons that make me love you so much more.
Love always and all ways,
Mama
