Lydia Faith Gess

Lydia is here. 7 pounds 4 ounces. 20 and 1/2 inches long. She looks just like Luke with white blonde hair and blue eyes. We were supposed to come in at 5: 15 but got on the freeway and the interstate was closed for construction with no prior warning. We finally made it 45 minutes late. Then we were bumped for a brave mom birthing twins. So by 8:35 Lydia Faith arrived. I did have a lot of scar tissue so things took a little longer, but she was healthy. Nursing is going well so far and i pray that it continues that way. Thank you for all the prayers. Here are some pictures from this morning.

Getting ready for delivery

Yeah! Welcome to the new little Gess beauty! She is absolutely gorgeous, Stef. :)

I'll pray that you and Lydia can now enjoy a few days with other folks taking care of you in the hospital... with no sounds of hammers, etc. echoing down the hallway. I actually prayed for that. :)

She is beautiful Stefany. Congratulations and I am sooooo glad that the only "excitement" this time around involved traffic, not the delivery! Rest up and enjoy your new little princess!

Oops... I didn't realize that Milan was signed in when I just commented. That was from the other Norgauer- although he is happy all went well today too!
