Friends & family made the first days even more special ... 
Stella, you brighten my days. I've never felt so "protective" of anything in my life. 
I love you baby girl!

     Also during these first days, we lost a best friend, Heidi ... She is greatly missed. :( It's too sad to think about..  And I regret Stella won't get to meet her---- well not until that resurrection morning.  All dogs go to Heaven!  RIP Heidi

The Big Day

II was induced October 29th at 10:00 pm.  Justin and I ate at On the Border before I was induced- I could barely eat. I was so scared, yet so excited!! 
I was almost sent home 10/30 because my cervix hadn't thinned ... But Dr Fuller came in and broke my water and started Pitocin. After an epidural (thank God for those) Stella CheriĆ© arrived at 1:00 pm... 
She was beautiful and made my heart stop beating .. :) 
Words can't express my love for this angel---
Stella, you're my world!
