The Princess Arrives

After 40 weeks minus one day, our precious little princess made her grand entrance into this world. And it was quite an entrance. As ready as Mami and Papi were Michaella seemed to be in no rush. However, when she decided to make her way, she wasted no time. Only 4 hours after the first contraction and a handful of pushes later, Michaella Danielle was born at 7:00am on Thursday, February 22. She weighed in at 8 pounds and was 20 inches long. It goes without saying that she is the most beautiful baby girl we have ever seen. Michaella is now 12 days old and has a sweet and peaceful spirit. She spends her days sleeping and her nights keeping us up...well mostly she keeps her Mami up. David, now a big brother, is adjusting to the new addition. He and Michaella hit it off right away; they took their first nap together in the hospital. David is quite the helper! He holds her and sings to her when she cries. He even helps Mami burp her after feedings and puts the bobo back in her mouth.
