Announcing... Miss Stella Rae!

We have a little girl!

Stella Rae arrived on Saturday, November 24, 2007 at 9:13am

{ 8 pounds, 3 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long }

We went in for an induction at Hoag Hospital on Friday night

(I was 41 weeks). Labor progressed a little too rapidly and by

Saturday morning her heart rate was very low and they needed

to take her by emergency c-section... a dramatic ending to a

very uneventful pregnancy! All is well with Stella, daddy and me.

We loved our experience at Hoag - had a fantastic ocean view

from our room. What a miracle she is! Love you, little girl!
