Bella made her debut on May 22nd at 1:03pm in our bedroom! We had a very successful home birth that was truly a miracle in many ways. I can't wait to write out my story and share it with you here on this blog. In due time, when things have calmed down a bit. :-)
Bella weighed 7lbs 15.5oz and was 19.5 inches long when she was born. She was alert for hours and a champion nurser from birth. She even pushed herself up on my chest to lift her head to look at me right from birth. She is amazing!! And she's thriving... a week ago she weighed 8lbs 2.5oz, and I know she's growing still.
More later, but I wanted to share the news of our beautiful baby girl. She is the most precious gift ever!! We are so humbled.
A gift, indeed. She will have a special place along with her Grandpa on the dedication page of her Grandma's next book. The Gift... :)
ReplyDeleteYou and Nathan made a beautiful baby, and you did an amazing job of delivering my first grandchild. Thank you.
