Stella's Birthday










It's Wednesday night on the way to the hospital, Sarah and I going to complete the incredible. Bringing a new life into this world, and oh what a journey for our baby girl...

Starts off with some cramping discomfort and pain, followed by contractions that would hardly refrain. On through the night the medicine is little use, Sarah continues to fight while enduring the bodily abuse. Early in the AM time to check the dilatation, 5 cms! thank goodness a little half-way celebration. Would you like an epidural? The nurse then inquired, THANK GOD YES! is what Sarah required. So in goes the needle about 4 inches long, and goodbye to the pain that was feeling so strong. But wait oh no babies heart beat was slowing, a C-Sections possibility now did begin growing. With the doctors advice we waited to see, if the babies heart and the medication would agree. After some time things went back to normal, and we were on our way to a birth that is formal. After many hours she was coming out her bush, breathing and squeezing 1-2-3 PUSH! Out comes her head we're almost done now, followed by her body all I think is.....wow. Stella Rose is born it's 5:54, 6 pounds 12 ounces its over no more. Sarah her mother and I her father, on September 8th 2011 we couldn't be prouder.

Happy Birthday Stella, you're beautiful

Thank you to everyone, family and friends for all your love and support. We are blessed to have you all in our lives.

  1. How Beautiful She IS!!!! Great poetry. Now, keep in mind that Stella was born on the feast day in the Catholic Church "The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary", which is , obviously the day the Church recognizes the birth of Mary. Stella and Mary -- born on the same day!

    Congratulations. Enjoy. I'll bet the house is a bit quieter. Tell your mom to put something over Al's mouth at night to stop the snoring so that Stella can sleep...

  3. Joe,
    Did I keep you up at night when you were here? If so, please accept my sincere apologies. No wonder you were in such a hurry to get out of the car when I droped you off at the airport!
    Love and fondest affections,
    Your brother in law in kind,
    Al
