Happy Birthday to my beautiful little merry sunshine–Stella Jane! She is three years old. Today, I reflected back to the day when she was born, and honestly the first thing I thought was how terrible my labor and delivery was. It was so bad that I swore to myself that I was never going to have another baby. I hate to say it, but it was my closest thing to death. Thankgoodness for drugs because I felt like I got a glimpse of what some of the pioneer women had to suffer through during child birth. Anyway, after she was born and after I got through my baby blues (yes, I was emotionally recovering from this terrible delivery–okay maybe there is still some emotions), I realized that all the pain and suffering was definitely worth it. Stella had such a tender, sweet spirit (and still does, of course). A little newborn who would love to cuddle, good sleeper, patient, dainty, easy crying cues and just loveable. When my Mom came out to help out, she kept telling me that she was the “perfect” newborn and how lucky I was. After having Lucas, I can now attest to that. It’s been so fun watching her grow, and we are so grateful and feel lucky to have her apart of our family. So here’s some pictures of our baby.

Happy Birthday Stella! What a cutie. I am so with you on child birth. I was laying there thinking “Why do people do this,why is the human population constantly increasing.” Yikes! Anyway bug party-I had Kaitlin’s party at the big bug park out on I-215 and Buffalo. I gave the kids butterfly nets and they had a bug hunt. From Oriental Trading company I bought bug stickers, and wrapped gummy bugs and hid them. The kids LOVED that. I also bought Ladybug visors that the kids could decorate themselves. Then we just had my sick looking ladybug cupcakes and played at the park. I hope your party turns out great.
Oh sweet Stella, Happy Birthday! I feel so lucky to be able to see her grow up. My favorite things about Stella: how she loves to help out around the house, her artistic skills, her smile when she scrunches up her nose, her little laugh and even at three years old she is so thoughtful of others.
Love you Stella!
