I’ve got someone pretty special to introduce you to.
Meet our precious Gwen Stellamaris Stewart! Born after 13 hours of active labor at 7:41am on May 30, our little lass weighed 7lbs 4oz. She has grey eyes and plenty of jet black hair. She is healthy and sweet and we are so grateful for a safe delivery.
Labor was very hard and exhausting and my recovery has been much slower than with Lucy, so I will be mostly out of touch for a few days. But I wanted to say thank you for all the prayers and for the outpouring of love for sweet Gwen on facebook, instagram, and twitter. I’ve read and appreciate every comment!
Birth story coming soon!
Amy says
Congratulations! May 30 is a wonderful day to have as a birthday! It’s the Feast Day of my favorite saint, Joan of Arc.
Haley says
Amy! Daniel told me just a few minutes after her birth, “Hey! It’s St. Joan of Arc’s Day!” She’s one of our favorite saints, too!
Jayne says
CONGRATULATIONS.
I have thinking about you so much this week & wondering when gorgeous Gwen was going to join the real world.
Blessing on all of you, as you adjust to your precious new memeber of the family.
Take it easy, & we will all be looking forward to hearing from you when you are up to it.

Hooray! Congratulations! Indeed, pregnancy DOES have an end! 🙂
Enjoy your time of recovery and rest–there will be plenty of (glorious and hard!) work to do later! (says me, 13 months ahead of you in the 3rd child under 5 road, yet so very challenged and encouraged by your blog)
Haley says
It does! Sure feels like it won’t ever end in those final days, though!
It’s so good to hear of other mamas with 3 littles under 5 who are surviving 🙂 And thanks for your sweet words!
Pam says
