Welcome to the World, Stella Scout!

We are beyond thrilled to introduce Stella Scout Bressler to the world! Stella decided to join us at 9:36am on Tuesday, July 31st at the beautiful Bellingham Birth Center. (Yup, you Harry Potter fans - Stella shares the boy wizard's birthday!) She weighed in at an impressive 8 lbs. 14.5 oz. and is already a healthy, happy and robust little peanut. Both Katherine and Brian feel indebted to the excellent care and support of midwives Christine and Catriona who helped usher both into parenthood.
We are absolutely mesmerized by Stella Scout and all that she is bringing to our world already. We can't wait to share her with all of the family and friends who have been so supportive through this amazing experience. Here are some opening shots of the gorgeous girl to keep you satisfied. Enjoy!

Congratulations to the Bressler Burns family! I was thinking about you two (I mean three) all morning after I got Grandma Bressler's call that things were happening. Katherine, well done my dear, almost 9 pounds is an amazing feat. The two of you will be the best parents in the world. I can't wait to meet Ms. Stella in September when I'm up in Bellingham!

Love,

Chi-hui

Kathleen and I enjoy all the follow up with Stella. It's nice to see all the faces up north also.

Keep up the good work Katherine and Brian.
