Stella Rose

Well, after nine long and anxious months, our perfect little Stella Rose arrived four days early. After having a few contractions during swim class Thursday, March 19, I went into a quick labor and delivery. Stella was born at 12:38am, 8lbs, 19 1/2 inches on March 20.

She has passed all her screenings and appears to be doing well. So far...she has a healthy appetite and is already outgrowing some of her newborn clothing. We cannot complain about her night schedule, but I am sure that will change in the coming weeks.

As for us, we are tired and relieved and worried all at the same time. My physical health appears to be just fine, although my sanity is always in question. Travis is just glad to have his family at home and is taking advantage of his extra time with Davis.

And Davis, he is full of excitement and will probably be the focus of several posts with his entertaining way of viewing life. He is overly affectionate and very helpful...so far.

Stella has a weight check tomorrow and I plan to keep everyone posted about her accomplishments.
