Grace makes her debut!

Grace Domenica Delorey was born on July 5 at 7:43 am. She weighed 8 lbs even measuring 19 inches long.

Grace surprised us late Friday night/Saturday morning when Stef's water broke around 2:30 am. We calmly (yeah right) grabbed our things and headed to the hospital. Little Grace was breached so Stef had an emergency C-section at 7:30. Stef was really tough and handled everything really well. We are really proud of Stef. She's doing exceptionally well as a new mother. She has all the motherly instincts, and everything seems to come so naturally to her. Stef is making a steady recovery so far, and Grace is as healthy as can be and getting cuter by the minute.

We are so happy with Grace. She is one of those perfect babies who steals your heart the first time you look at her. We love her so much already.

We appreciate all the support that we've had from family and friends. We love showing off Little Grace to anyone who wants to see, so we'd love to have visitors. Enjoy the pictures!

  4. Congrats!!! She is so beautiful. And Stef, you look great!!! I looked awful after my c-section and my face and legs swelled (which was weird for me since I hadn't been swollen at all). Anyways, take it easy and enjoy these first days. They get big fast!
