31

My birthday really snuck up on me this year. Although, I do have a bit of a distraction. 

My 30th year was quite the ride. There has been much grief this year. From dealing with the loss of our first child to losing both of my grandfathers. There has also been great joy. From finding out we were having a baby (just week after my Grandpa Marrah's death) to actually giving birth (just one day before my Grandpa Gavisk's death). The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. 

I look forward to the next 31 years. Watching Emi grow up. Traveling. Maybe giving Emi a sibling. Growing old with Joshua. And seeing where the Lord takes us. 

Emi and I in our St. Louis Cardinals gear for the home opener.


God's Blessings,

Joshua, Stefani, and Emilia

P.S. Seven years ago today Joshua asked me to be his wife. He is still waiting for me to say yes. Although, one would think having a wedding and a baby would be yes enough. ;)

One Month

I can't believe it has been a month since Emilia made her grand entrance. It seems both like yesterday and a lifetime ago.

Month One:

Likes: 
Eating on time
Being where the action is
Sleeping 
Snuggling with anyone available

Dislikes:
Eating late
Being without clothes
Getting dressed

Eats:
3 ounces every 3 hours (We had to abandon breastfeeding/pumping, much to our dismay)

Doctor's Report:
9lbs 10oz (75th%)
21" long (50th%)

Emilia's Milestones:
She is working on holding her head up
Gassy smiles 
Part of her cord fell off, we are waiting for the rest to fall off

Parents' Milestones:
First blow out diaper on my hand
First up all night with a crying baby
Spit up on multiple times

Hair Watch:
Dark
Bald spot
No curls...yet


Thank you to everyone who has made this month easier. We appreciate all the meals, help with cleaning our house, and general encouragement. It takes a village, y'all.

God's Blessings,

Joshua, Stefani, and Emilia

P.S. Cute pictures to come...
