Just Like Her Big Brother

Jac at birth

Stella at birth

The resemblance is uncanny.  Stella is a female version of Jac, at least at the ripe old of age of 7 days.  Here are some photos to prove it!

She also had very similar statistics as Jac.  They both weighed 8 lbs 2 oz, they both had a head circumference of 14 inches and Stella was a mere half inch shorter than Jac's 21.5 inches.  They make similar expressions and of course their first poop story was very similar!

On the day that we were supposed to take Jac to his first doctor's appointment, Jac hadn't pooped since the hospital.  He had had the normal bowel movements in the hospital, but once we were home, nothing.  We went in for his checkup and during his PKU blood draw, while I was holding him and he was screaming his little head off - he pooped, everywhere.  He exploded the diaper and actually managed to come out of his footies onto my shirt.  We tried to clean him up, but as first time parents we had 3 wipes and 1 diaper which we had already used to change his wet diaper at the beginning of the checkup.  We had no extra clothing.  Jeff and I gave each other a look that meant "I am in if you are in" and we zipped that poop up in his footies and hustled him out of there. 

His first poop, first doctor visit and first bath also conincided - just like Stella's.  And of course, I was thrilled!
