It never fails...

I swear, this breastfeeding thing is magical. And if I were wordsy, I would describe it better. Here's what happens, I'm asleep. Stella is asleep. I wake up for no reason - no noise, no pain, no dream, nothing. BUT, the feeders are soaking and let down is happening. Next, Miss S awakens so it's time to feed. She and the girls got some kind of telepathic thing going because it never fails. It's like clockwork - it's magical, really. I think it's pretty damn cool.

Things are progressing along here at the Dickson household. Stella is now 10 weeks old and cooing like crazy, smiling more and more each day, and she's discovered her legs and that kicking them around feels really good! We're getting the hang of each other and I think I'm beginning to get when she's tired. She and I have taken some killer naps lately and I thank her for that. I'm finally getting some much needed rest and sleep, which makes my job so much easier...and fun!

The summer is here, Sean and I are now off, and we are looking forward to having fun with Stella. It's hot as hell, so I'm hoping for lots of pool time. Stella will have her first swim this coming Sunday, and frankly, I'm a little nervous! What diapers do I use? Will she have enough sunscreen on? Should I get her a hat? Will I drop her in the water? All will be fine. We'll have a good time.

I need to get some pictures up here, I know. I wish it were faster to do so, and although I'm sitting here ON MY OWN (yes! Baby and Daddy are both sound asleep!), I just don't feel like going through all the motions of getting some images up...but now that I said that, I think I'll try.

Me and Miss Stella (two months) having a chat.



My gorgeous baby girl. I'm in love with her.
