Estella Lilian Potter was born on June 23, 2009 at 9:11 in the morning. She was 8 lbs. 10.1 oz.and 20 3/4" long. Sheri has been a trooper after her second C-section. This one was a little easier for her as she got a good sleep the night before and didn't have to go through any labor. The girls were only in the hospital for two days and then home. Sari was great the first time she met her new little sister, wanting to hold her and calling Estella "Cute Baby"! Since then has been a little tougher for Sari. Sheri wasn't allowed to lift anything heavier than the baby so picking up Sari was out of the question. This was tough on her and Sheri but that resriction is off and Mom and toddler are free to cuddle freely now.
Estella has been smiling up a storm lately. She has had a few bad nights where we haven't gotten much sleep...who am I kidding, it has been mostly Sheri not getting any sleep. She is getting to know night from day a little better now so she still gets up a couple of times during the night, but really only to feed. What we wouldn't give for 10 continuous hours of sleep!
Anyways, more to come. And now, PICTURES!!
