There she is. Beautiful, beautiful sight. Born around 11:30 this morning, 2.6 kg. I took this picture about two hours after she was born. No epidurals at this hospital, so Stella was put completely under. When I saw her, she was still too groggy to really stay awake or even hold her baby. Only awoke enough to say “Asante” when Dr. Carolyn and I gave her our congratulations, both of us in tears.
