Rockin' The Polka Dots in the NICU

Big things are going on in the life of Bella that just could not wait another day to report!!

First of all, the news we have all been waiting for........Bella has reached and surpassed the 3 pound mark. She now weighs 3 lb 4 oz!!
To celebrate this big milestone, she got to adorn her very first outfit. Well, if you don't count the ziploc bag and plastic wrap that she wore on her birthday, it's her very first outfit.


Of course, the outfit has it's very own matching, monogrammed hat.


Many weeks ago, I reported on the blog that Bella could wear her own clothes at the age of 3 weeks. That was incorrect. I should have stated that Bella could wear her own clothes at 3 pounds. Regardless of this mistake, when Shae Page read this on the blog, she went into immediate action. For those of you who don't know, Shae (Her button is on our home page.) is Bella's very own "fairy blog mother" and she worked really hard when Bella was born to create and design this very special blog just for her. Shae wanted Bella to avoid her first fashion crisis, so she went to work and ordered the adorable outfit that Bella is wearing in these pictures. Yes, we do hope to get better quality pictures soon, and perhaps even with the outfit and matching hat on at the same time. But for now, we will settle for the pictures that have been taken and sent via cell phone.

Lori and John made a surprise trip home yesterday to spend a few hours. They went back last night and we hope to go down tomorrow. I can hardly wait to hold that sweet baby girl!!

We have all benefited from the rich blessings He brought to us – one gracious blessing after another. ~ John 1:16

You are too sweet! Bella looks FABULOUS in her outfit. I'm so glad she is getting to wear it! I'm sure she is the best dressed baby there and definitely the cutest. Those pictures of her sleeping in the previous post are absolutely adorable! :)
