Sara Rosalie

After over a dozen trips to the hospital and much pain and diligence by her amazing and wonderful mommy, Sara Rosalie was born on June 7 at 12:10 am. She weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. and is 20 inches tall (long). She has a shock of black hair and dark eyes (when they're open).

Sara and mommy are both doing great. Just 7 hours after the c-section, Melinda is feeling better than she has felt in months. She is up and moving around and is in (comparatively) very little discomfort.

Sara is strong and healthy and, despite being 4 weeks early, went straight to the "well" nursery and has had no problems whatsoever. The doctors are amazed at how healthy she is for her age. She is absolutely perfect!

We will be in the hospital for 3 days and should probably be released on Saturday or Sunday. We will post more pictures and such then. For now, you can see a bunch of pictures below.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. They have helped more than you know and now we have 3 (Melinda, Sara, and Laura) beautiful and healthy girls for the trouble. What more could you possible ask for?

  3. Hooray! We are so happy that you finally got to meet little Sara. She is so beautiful! I LOVE the picture of her looking up at her mommy. It is so precious.

    I'm glad that everyone is doing so well. You all look so happy, and Sara doesn't look like a premature baby at all! Hopefully Jacob and I will get to come see you guys soon!

    Love
