i'm in love.
with stella fortunata.
after 35+ hours of labor and 4 hours of pushing
this adorable little thing came into the world.
with a full head of hair.
and a nicolais inclination for sleep.
[aka narcolepsy]
10 healthy lbs and 2 oz.
23.5 inches long
doesn't cry much.
sends her aunt pictures every few hours.
(which make my day)
fortunato is a family name -
her namsake is our dearly beloved uncle dick
(don't ask how we got dick from fortunato)
and coincidentally her name means
lucky star.

Congratulations! I am so excited for Jason and Erica. When are you coming out here to see Stella for yourself? I ask for selfish reasons.
10 pounds!!!! That is not messing around. How exciting!
I don't want to make you jealous or anything, but I just saw her and she is spectacular. She's perfect and gorgeous. You are a lucky aunt.
those cheeks are amazing! oh, and with a name like that, she is destined for fabulousness.
ps. you'll quite possibly be the best aunt ever. xo
oh she is beautiful! I want to kiss those cheeks so bad! Congrats on being an aunt! It's one of the greatest roles in the world! xo
we're pretty smitten ourselves. and i just know she is going to adore you in may. thanks for posting. i better announce her on the blog soon!
and a slight, but IMPORTANT, correction...i only pushed for 2 hours.
Thanks for posting a picture and info. I've been wondering what the story was, since I saw Erica and Jason a week or so before and she was telling me all of her birth story fears. What a big beautiful baby girl! Congrats Auntie!
