Well she made it... to one month that is. I can't believe my little tiny baby is already one month old. Saying "It feels like just yesterday..." sounds so cliche, but its true! It really feels like I was still pregnant yesterday, and although I may still be sporting a little bit of a pregnant belly I am definitely not pregnant. Just a couple of days ago I took her in to the doctor for her one month check up and the little squirt is only 7lbs. 11oz. and measure 20 3/4 in. long. Drew was longer and heavier than her at birth than she is now and she is already one month old. Drew wore newborn size diapers for 3 days, she is still in them. Drew wore newborn size clothes for a week, they still fall off of her. Drew weight 11 pounds at one month, and she will when she's 2. I always felt like I never really got a newborn baby with Drew, but I definitely have one now. I love it though, she is so easy to tote around and I feel like I am really getting to enjoy the newborn phase with her, although I am really looking forward to that first voluntary smile

Life is returning back to normal here at the Stephens residence. We had so much fun having Bela in town and really truly appreciate all of her help. Just the smallest details meant so much. It was so nice having someone get Drew up every morning so I could have a few more minutes in bed with Lyla, having her stay at home and watch the kids so I could go run my errands alone or take a shower, and having her make dinner EVERY night so I would have one less thing to worry about. She even bought us all of our groceries. One day I'll do the same for Lyla when she has her kids. Grandpa Andy even made it over here for a week. Drew really enjoyed having "pa-pa" around. He cried and cried when we dropped them off at the airport. Two days later he still knocks on heir bedroom door asking for them. Its kind of sad. They should move here. :)

That's it for now... enjoy the pictures....
