just 3 short years ago,

My baby was born. Stella was my first water baby- born at 3:59 am on August 28, 2003, in Greenville, SC. Her birth was very gentle and surprisingly easy, especially considering her size! We were all so thrilled to meet her, and the girls were excited to be a part of her birth. Here are some pictures from that wonderful day.

Look at all those rolls!


First picture as a family of 5!
10 whole pounds! WOW!


We couldn't find her neck anywhere! Happy birthday, big girl!
We love you very much!

  1. Happy Birthday, Stella! I wish we could be there to celebrate with you today! When I reminded Ava today that it was your birthday she said "but she didn't send me an invitation!" I love you!!! Grandma
