New life





Clara Virginia Belle Buffa was born at home this afternoon after six hours of labor. She weighed in at 7 pounds 4 ounces and is 20 inches long. She came 11 days early! She is our smallest and earliest baby so far. Birthing was the last thing I expected to be doing today, and I am still a bit shocked that it happened. But here she is, and we couldn't be happier.

Congratulations on your sweet little girl! She is so precious! Our youngest is five, I sure miss the babe-in-arms days. Enjoy her, they grow SO quickly.

A girly gal such as yourself must be pretty excited about finally having a daughter to whom you can pass down your wisdom. Congratulations!
