Congratulations! She is a beauty, but what do you expect?
Stella was the name Brad and I had picked out for this baby if it was a girl. Good thing it is a boy or I would have to fight you. But seriously, good choice.

Tamara said...

She is beautiful, but that runs in the family. Please let me know if there is anything that you need...I hear that I am a pretty good cook.

Wow - she's beautiful. And Heather, you're glowing and look fabulous as always! I remember visiting you in the hospital when Cole was born and am sad I'm not there to celebrate with you and meet your new little Stella. Congratulations! And nice work on a smooth and speedy delivery.

Heather, you look amazing in those pictures. Not at all like you just had a baby! Wow! What a beautiful family :)
I am actually a terrible cook, but I'd love to help in any way I can. Let me know what you need. I'll order a pizza if you want!

Eryn said...

Wow--you did it!!!!! I'm so proud of you! Loved seeing all the pictures! What a great moment to finally meet her--oh I love that moment. I'm so glad you had a good birth. I wish I was there to shower good food upon you!!

Warmest congratulations! We're glad to hear that all went well and we are so happy for you!

She is a beautiful baby! I noticed in the crying picture that she has Matt's mouth. Let's hope she can't fit a quarter up her nose.

Fordney said...

So incredibly cute!!! I love Stella- I just want to shout it.
Congratulations!

Tara B said...

She's beautiful and a very lovely addition to your wonderful family.
Congratulations!

Jaime said...

Congrats! You did good. I love the name too. Jared's grandma was named Estella and I've always loved the name Stella too.

P.S. I love the blog and all of your left-winged views. It's nice to find someone else from Utah who feels like we do. We've pretty much taken to silence when either of our families talk politics. It's our way of keeping the peace!
