Harper June Stemle has arrived!

Our sweet little Harper June Stemle arrived March 17th at 5:35pm. She weighed 7 lbs, 2.2 oz and was 20" long. After 2 hours of pushing, baby, mom and dad were well! Harper is so beautiful! We couldn't be more happy!

We got to go home Friday, late-morning. Friday night was a little rough on all of us as we adjusted as a family to the new atmosphere. We got through it and it has been better since then.

We have had strong support from the grandparents. My mom is here this week helping and visiting little "June Bug." We went on our 1st shopping trip since Harper was born and mom, as expected, went a little overboard...Harper will look great this Spring/Summer! :-)

Harper will be 2 weeks old tomorrow! It has gone fast and we are cherishing every moment of this sweet little girl. I will update weekly unless she makes a new milestone.
Thanks to everyone who views the blog!

The Stemle's, Adam, Lindsey, & Harper

A date has been set

It is official! A date has been set for baby Stemle to make his/her appearance in this world! After hearing "no change" from our doctor this morning, we went ahead and decided to induce next Tuesday night. They will start me on a low dosage that night and check me again the following morning, more than likely breaking my water. So baby Stemle will arrive on the 17th, St. Patrick's Day as well as the day my Uncle Roger passed away several years ago. It will be a day of re-birth!!! It all worked out because my doctor delivers on Wednesday so since we had an option to choose, we obviously chose the day she delivers. I'm not tooo thrilled with being induced but I also don't want to have an 8lb child. :-)

The next time you hear from us we will be sending an e-mail out to all of you with the details of the delivery and a photo! Can't wait! Please continue to keep us in your prayers!

Thanks,
Adam and Lins

38 weeks and WAITING

So here we are at 38-1/2 weeks pregnant and waiting on this baby's arrival. I figured he/she would show his/her face early since there is absolutely no room in my belly...guess he/she is perfectly content! We had an ultrasound last Friday and determined the baby is over 7 lbs already. I'm hoping we delivery before he/she gets too close, or even over, 8 lbs. I will be able to update everyone Thursday afternoon as our next doctor's appointment is Thursday morning.

Everyone please pray for us at this time. We want a healthy baby, boy or girl, and I want him/her here sooner than later. :-)
