I can honestly say that I can't believe one month has passed since she was born. Every day flies by and she keeps us both so busy. I thought I'd share some fun pictures of our adorable little piglet enjoying her one month "birthday." :)
Kickin' it on our bed - she's in a pretty good mood here
I asked Derek to take a picture of us together. I never get pictures of her with me since I'm the one always running around with the camera :)
Going for a walk - she took them off promptly after the picture was over...
Thanks Uncle Barry, Aunt Laura, and Cousins Rachael and Gwen for the awesome cloth diapers! We're using cloth diapers during the day now. Disposable at night since she gets pissed pretty easily at night if the change takes too long. Pisses me off, too. Also, she's developed a bit of diaper rash (aka Monkey Butt, in our house), so we don't want her to sit on it too long with the cloth diapers. Cloth diapers are actually known for being bad with diaper rash.
Anyway, things are great with Stella. Her eyes - the clogged tear ducts - still get a little gooey from time to time. We call it her gooey butter eye. I hope it clears up soon. The pediatrician said it could last a couple months, and it makes me really sad to see how icky it gets. It doesn't do it every day, though, so that's at least good. Otherwise, she's just a chunky little baby, getting chubbier every day. We weighed her again, and it's still clocking at around 9 and a half lbs. She had a cloth diaper on so we aren't totally sure of the exact weight. I'm scared to weigh her without a diaper on since she may blow ass all over the scale and cause a huge mess.
Her hair seems to be getting longer, at least in the back. I love how fuzzy her head is :) She still hates anything on her head, too. No hats, no headbands. She hates them all equally.
Oh, and a big thank you to our awesome friends Kerry and Chris for making us dinner last night and bringing it to us. It was like magic having some of Chris's delicious chef-awesomeness. :) Well, she's getting grumpy because she's hungry ;)
Yay for one month with our Pig! :)
Mindy you look so pretty and Stella is getting so big.

Mindy, for the conjunctivitis, massage the corner of her eye where the tear duct is with a little (a little) bit of Johnson's and warm water on a washcloth. This is what the pediatric opthamologist told us to do for Ryder. I usually do this after every feeding when his gets bad, and I don't always use the Johnson's. I think just the act of massaging it with warm water and a clean cloth is what's important. Ryder has gotten it twice already, and since he's prone to infection with his neutropenia we actually get antibiotic eye drops for it. The drops clear it up in two days, it's ridiculous. Ask Dr. Demauro about it if it doesn't go away soon (and about the drops).
