She's Here!

Well, we have had our little girl in our lives for about a week now and we couldn't be happier!

Stella Grace Sherwood

7lbs 1oz 20 1/2 inches
Born 11-1-11 at 3:58 pm
Proud Daddy. First family photo. Ya, I look rough. Labor was a lot harder and painful then I had anticipated. Of coarse I knew it wasn't going to be a walk in the park, but it sure does give you so much more appreciation for all the moms in the world! But luckily I had Dustin through it all. I COULD NOT have done it without him. He kept me somewhat sane through the whole process and helped me so much. He was my rock! My baby girl It was so wonderful to have my mom here in Erie to be apart of this great experience. She was so helpful! She made us wonderful home cooked meals and freezer meals to last for a good while. She cleaned, did laundry, rubbed my feet during labor, and held and loved on Stella. And since child birth is no new thing to her with six kids of her own, she was there to answer all of my birth and mom questions. It was hard to say goodbye when she left!
Leaving the hospital.
I loved the hospital were we delivered. It is brand new, clean, the nurses are great, and we felt very well taken care of.
On our way home!
This has really been the most amazing experience of our lives. Stella truly is a blessing. We love her more than we ever thought we could.
