So, in October of 2012 , I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl!
This is my sweet Stella. She challenges me everyday. She has made me laugh, made me cry and even made my heart beat faster for sure. She keeps me on my toes!! Taking care of this little creature has proven to be the toughest job that I have encounter in my life. But, I am her Mommy and she is my Stella Girl and she is quite possibly the sweetest thing that I have ever known.
So, I take care of Stella and during the 'in-between-times' of breastfeeding, changing diapers, bathing her and myself, reading story books, nap time, grocery shopping, doing laundry, washing dishes, hanging out with Jack, trips to the public library, planning a first birthday party, tending to a pet cockatiel, making the bed, attending breastfeeding meetings and doctor appointments, attempting to make myself a pot of decaf coffee each morning and keeping my sanity and a smile on my face...I make pictures!! Ahhhh, photography, I've missed you! I have included some of my favorite shots from this past year and I have to say that I am super proud of myself. I did all of this while being a full-time breastfeeding mom! Don't judgy-wudgy! It's harder than you think. I often feel very accomplished when I am able to brush my teeth before I pass out at 8:30 pm.
