View Full Version : He's here!
Travis George Griffith was (finally!) born this morning (April 1st) at 12:02AM. I did get my April Fool's Day baby. He's 8lbs 4oz and absolutely beautiful. I am so in love!
It took a long time to get things going, but it was worth it. I am not even kidding when I say that this labor was almost completely free of pain from start to finish. They kept thinking nothing was happening because even though my contractions showed up on the monitor I was still smiling and laughing and cheerful. By the time they checked me anyway I was dilated to 6. I got the epidural and a few hours of napping later I was fully dilated. 11pain free (but effort-filled) minutes later he was born. I'm really quite blown away by how easy the birth was. It was a pretty nice April Fools Day surprise.
Congratulations! I'm very happy for you.
Congratulations Stella! Enjoy every blessed minute

Congrats!!!
That's wonderful Stella-I very happy for you all.
Congratulations! And Welcome Baby Travis!
Congratulations! I'm so glad you had a great birthing experience and that you and the baby are doing well. Wish I could hug you in person, but I guess we'll have to settle for a fake cyber hug :-)
(((Stella)))
I'll keep you and your whole family in my prayers as you make necessary adjustments at home. :-)
Steall, that's so great to hear! Wonderful that everything went well.
Is he your biggest (at birth) baby? He's a nice size but not huge. Is he long, too?
Yipppeeee!! Congratulations Stella and family. I'm very happy for you all.
Congratulatios, Stella, and welcome to this wild ride of a world, Travis! :)

Welcome to the world Travis George Griffith! Congratulations Mom and rest of the family!
yay! i'm so happy for you, stella! congrats to the whole family. :)
Thanks everyone! We are doing really well. Zach is going to bring the kids over pretty soon to meet their brother. I can't wait! That should be fun.
Iris, Travis is my second biggest baby. Bella was 8lbs 8oz, so she still holds the title, which is funny because, as you know, she's been kind of a peanut ever since. He's 19 1/2 inches long.
How wonderful. Congratulations.
Tell Zack that the balance of boys/girls is shifting! Congrats to you both! Get some rest!!!

Thanks everyone! I will defintiely post pictures later on. My dad just took the camera home to load the pics to the computer so they should be ready soon.
Junco, happy birthday! I am having fun daydreaming about all the fun April Fools Day birthday party ideas we could use in the future.

This is really good news!
Just want to add my belated congratulations! He's a beautiful child and so glad you had a (relatively) easy delivery.
Aw...he is just perfect, Stella! And look at those cheeks! A handsome little fella for sure! ;-)
That's wonderful news! He's a cutie and I'm so glad you had an easy birth. Wish they would have had epidurals in my day. I did the 70's natural birth thing each time. Ouch!
2 girls, 2 boys - that is awesome!! :D Enjoy!!
