Chelsea Rose Hoeflein was born on October 15th at 1:24 in the afternoon.
She weighed 7lbs 1 ounce and was 19 inches long.

Tracy's labor was induced a few days before her due date to make sure that the baby was not too large, Cody was 9lbs 1 ounce and Emily was 8 lbs ounces. Baby's are supposed to get bigger the more you have so we were nervous but, our fears were layed to rest.
So far chelsea sleeps a pretty consistant 4 hours stretches which is just like our emily did at that age. Emily went on to sleep a full 12 hours a night at just 3 months old, cody on the other hand was a hand full. He woke up several times at night and was hard to get back to sleep.
