Our strong little girl!!!



So after we had our "fancy" dinner the hospital had provided for us Tuesday night, we woke Stella up and tried to get some new pics of her to put up. Much to our surprise, she held her head up for more then a few seconds!! And this wasn't a wimpy second this was a steady 5 seconds or so without any help. This girl is STRONG. Of course later that night she showed her temper\impatience with her "angry"cry that would break anybody's heart...until the nurses bring her in at 2 A.M. because of that cry and not even eating would really get rid of it. I guess even then it breaks your heart.....but there is much more frustration mixed in when NOBODY is getting any sleep.
Caroline LOVES her baby sister. Erin and I had talked about the possibility of people calling her Janie and were fine with that. Never really talking it through with Caroline. Well low behold that is what Caroline calls Stella....no matter how many times we "correct" her or make it a point to call her Stella in front of her. Ah well....it's pretty cute that she's got that nickname already for her sister. We'll hopefully be able to put up the video of Caroline first seeing Stella by next week. So until then....thank you all so much for your calls\prayers\emails over the past few days.....they were much needed and appreciated. We'll post again soon.....



Love
Cam, Erin, Caroline and Stella "Janie"

She is soo cute guys! What great pictures! I can't wait to meet her and hold her tomorrow! The girls have been talking about it all week! Love to all of you!

Oh yea...how cute that big sis nicknamed her already! Although I'm not big on calling Josiah "Joey", that's what Maddie's taken to calling him, so it's cute!
