December 31, 2011

The snow falls to the ground outside our 2nd floor hospital window.
My wife sits in the bed that aided in the miracle also known as the birth of my daughter and tries to teach our late Christmas gift how to eat.
Gianna "Gia" Faith Stern "favors the left" my wife blurts out and I go back to typing for I know I want to spend the last hour of 2011 with my new family.
Gia was born December 30th at 10:35 AM and tipped the scales at a tiny 6lbs 4 oz and 19 inches long. She has mommy's long eye lashes, daddy's long toes, slight dark hair to top off her beautiful little self. I am biased. But this is the most beautiful baby in the world. It says right here on the internet. Believe it.
Tonight as 2011 comes to a close and my life as a Father comes to a beginning I thank God and Jesus for life. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Life...Amen.

My Gianna "Gia" Faith Stern arrives December 30th, 2011 !
