There just isn't anything sweeter than a new baby.
Mabel at a couple months
I love their little noises, their little faces, and their super heavenly smell.
I am so blessed to be having another one (it really didn't matter if it was a boy or a girl!). In this day, when it seems that infertility is everywhere I look, I am reminded again and again how lucky I am to be able to bear my children. My heart aches for those who cannot.
My children are my life and I like it that way. I love my role as a mother. There isn't anything I would rather do. I can't wait to meet Miss Stella and to see her personality emerge. She is making our family more complete. It is going to be fun (and sometimes stressful, I know) to have a new baby in the house.
But we are ready.

says who?!?!
ReplyDeletek, seriously. that picture.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, that is CUTE!
ReplyDeleteabout that new baby smell ... is it natural or a lotion or a type of baby food? 'cause i honestly don't think miss dub got it, even though she smells 'liscious to me anyway. but it's not your typical baby smell.
ReplyDeleteYour "reasons" posts are pretty persuasive. I am (almost) ready to think about having another baby.
ReplyDeleteOh man, that picture is adorable! I really, really love the baby stage. With David I just remember thinking this is hard, but I love it!! I have pretty easy babies for the most part though!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the tips for Huntington. I will go there for sure tomorrow. It sounds promising. Also, we wish you could be there as well. It sound be exciting! I'm excited to finally meet Mitt. I have been carrying his water bottle around with me everywhere, trying to get his name out in every place possible! We'll miss you but maybe next fund raiser :)
ReplyDeletei was just thinking this morning while feeding gus super early that i loved kissing his cheeks and loved that smell of post-spit up. that's probably weird but at least it gives me a reason to get up with him at night.
ReplyDeletealso, this post makes me want to bring gus over more often. knowing how much you love little babies and already how much help you've been, i'm thinkin it's necessary.
(mabes is the cutest baby and it's so obviously her! how funny!)
such a sweet entry - Stephanie, you always have a way of grounding me to what really matters - don't ever stop blogging.
ReplyDeletethat photo is scrumptious - can't wait to virtually meet Miss Stella.
Love that picture, it is amazing how you can tell it's Mabel. I'm so glad you're having another one too, we need more Courts in this world!
ReplyDeleteAaah, that picture makes me so excited for the general squishiness headed my way! Not that I wasn't excited before.
ReplyDeleteI agree with above ... almost makes me baby hungry. And I will be totally SHOT for ideas if we are to have a boy? I can only think of life with a girl baby ... Stella will be a lucky girl.
ReplyDeletewhat a great picture! being a mom is awesome, and i love your thought on it. :)
ReplyDeleteJust to cute,squishie,lovable and just plain wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove you
