It is difficult to put into words what just happened. The multiple trips to the hospital, the 41 hours of labor that Mackenzie endured, and the end result that we named Stella Ryan Day. The entire experience can really be described by any number of adjectives ranging from terrifying to beautiful, but I think that the photos below describe this in a way that we never could. We hate that we are so far away but it was so nice to have Sherry and Ed (Mackenzie's parents) along with C.J., Kari, Hannah, and Haydin. (Mackenzie's brother and family) We are also so excited to have a string of visitors including Mike's family and Mackenzie's sister in the upcoming weeks. We miss everyone and can't believe that she is already 72 hours old. (actully 72 hours and 21 minutes as of right now)
Stella Ryan Day - 7 pounds, 7.2 ounces
- 19.5 inches long
