We are so excited to announce the birth of our new daughter Willa Michelle Gustafson! She arrived on Sunday, May 27 at 8:52 pm tipping the scales at whooping 9 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long. Here is her story:
The day began like any other day. It was a Sunday so we went to church. Camille's parents were in town so after church Camille and the boys went to the Schlaak's house to spend some time with family. I had contractions throughout the morning which eventually dissipated so my parents headed back to Minnesota.

I also headed for home at that point. Once home, it was nap time. The boys took a good rest, but I was having trouble due to some serious contractions (4:00 pm). At that point, I decided to start timing them and they were consistently coming every 15 minutes. That's when I decided to call Ted at work to give him a heads up (5:00 pm). He was home 15 minutes later, called Lisa to come get the boys, called my doctor, and was ready to go. Good thing he was! We were at the hospital at 6:45 pm.
We got checked into the hospital and admitted to a room. At 8:52 pm Willa Michelle Gustafson entered the world a screaming. Ted and I were in awe and in love the moment we laid eyes on her. She is absolutely beautiful! One thing we didn't expect was the amount of hair that is on that girl. It might be just a little out of control, but we wouldn't have her any other way. Enjoy the pictures of our little bundle of joy!
