Yay! After nearly a 12 hour labor, a wonderful blessing from above known as an epidural, and just a few pushes, Stella made it safe and sound. Everyone loves to know the stats so here they are: 7 pounds, 3 ounces. 19 inches long. Dark hair, Born at 9:13 am. Delivered by a sub of a sub of my doctor.
Of course we think Stella is just perfect, but she came with some quarks. Her ears were formed kind of funky on the outside. She has some "skin tags" and extra lobe stuff. We call her right ear Shrek Ear (which you can see in the first picture), and the left one Cauliflower. The pediatrician wanted to be extra thorough to make sure this wasn't an indication of anything else, but she passed her hearing test and the ultra sound they did of her kidneys and bladder was completely normal. Whew! We'll have a pediatric plastic surgan look at her in a few weeks and have things fixed sometime down the road. She has been a great eater, pooper, sleeper and entertainer. We love her and we'll keep her!
Classic after delivery shot.
