Born December 17, 2008 10:38 p.m.7 pounds 7 ounces
20 inches
Tessa joined our family last night after a quick labor (2 1/2 hours). She is so very sweet and we love her so much! Being almost a pound and a half bigger than Sophie was makes her seem so chubby, I just love it. As you can see she also was born with lots of black hair and has a eye color yet to be determined. They appear gray for now. More details will follow, I just wanted to post a few pictures before my mom has kittens! :)

oh my goodness! These are Brian's exact words "She has enough hair to have a bad hair day!" I guess all that heartburn was worth it! We love her already!

She looks just like my little Jessica papoose, as my Dad called you when you were born. Sophie looks so grown up and blonde all of a sudden! Way to go Jessica! Good work!

Cute, cute, cute! I love all her hair, and the name...nice!
She is darling! Can't believe all that hair. We hope to meet her in person soon.

You look beautiful. Apparently 2 1/2 hrs wasn't enough to make you sweat.
Tessa's a little chubbalub!
Oh Jessica, I am so happy for you....and quite jealous....I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore. But Tessa Belle....was a beautiful name and she is just as pretty as her name. ALL THAT DARK HAIR....I love it! I can't wait to see more pictures and see the girl in person. Mason and Mia loved all the pictures too and were very excited for Sophie. Congrats!!!

Tessa is BEAUTIFUL! I'm so glad that she came quickly for you & that everything went smoothly. Dan was such a "proud papa" yesterday when he came to get Sopie. Can't wait to meet her in person & PLEASE call if I can do ANYTHING to help!!

She is darling. Congratulations and I am glad she finally made her grand entrance. :) PS Tessa is an adorable name!!
Congratulations!! She's beautiful! I can't believe all of the dark hair she has. How was your delivery? How are you feeling? How is Sophie doing? Dan looks like a proud Daddy. We can't wait to meet her. Do you think you'll be coming home with you mom?
That is so funny! When I read your last post I thought, she'll probably wind up going into labor tonight!
2 1/2 hours!!!! You're awesome!!!
She's gorgeous! I think that she looks like you but maybe that's the full head of beautiful dark hair that she has. You should post a Sophie newborn pic next to a Tessa new born pic. By the way, we COMPLETELY had Tessa picked out as an, "if we ever have a girl" name!!! It's adorable and I love the middle name Belle too!!! Both of those are Italian names so I am a big fan!!!! ;-))
Congratulations!!
Oh, and... you look GORGEOUS! No fair that someone can look that good right after giving birth!
Oh she is just beutiful!! And look at all that dark hair. I love it! Congrats!!! I love the name Tessa...and she already fits it. What does Sophie think of her new little sister?? What cuties you guys have!! Congrats again!!
Congratulations you guys! She looks so sweet. I can't wait to see her in person.
Congrats to you all!!!

She is adorable!!! You look amazing too! I have never seen anyone looking that good after labor! I love the pic of the three girls, and the one of the beaming father!
She is beautiful! Great job on a healthy baby.
