she's here!
april 22, 2012 will go down in history as the greatest day of my life.
that's the day when my daughter, stella louise, was born.
she surprised us with a little bit of an early arrival (she was due in may), and her birth didn't exactly go the way i had planned. but, she's here, the beautiful, and healthy, little love of my life. i just can't imagine life without her anymore.
forgive me if i'm the world's worst emailer at the moment. i'm still trying to figure out how to get everything crammed into a day.

I have never left a comment on your blog before, but this event is certainly deserving of one. Long life and happiness to Stella Louise! I wish you and your little family years of joy (and for you, especially, lots of little catnaps).

Congratulations on your new arrival. The one thing I've learned in the eleven years since medical school graduation: Babies don't read birth plans.
