Welcome Baby Sara!

 Well, once again I made it to my due date with no signs of immanent labor, so my doctor decided to induce at 40 weeks and 4 days.  Here we are the day before I was admitted.



 And just a little over 24 hours and a few gory details (which I will not write about here) later, here she is!  Sara Allen was born at 1:52 pm weighing 7 pounds 4 ounces and measuring 20 inches long.

 Getting her first bath.




 About to get her hair washed.  Poor thing had no idea what was coming!

 How traumatic!


 All clean and worn out, recovering under the warming lamp.

 Some of her first visitors:  Great Aunt Cookie.

 Aunt Lauren and Uncle Jason who serenaded her with their rendition of Hall & Oates', "Sara Smile."  Goofballs.

 Anna meeting her baby sister for the very first time!

 "Holding" her baby.

 Does it get any cuter than this?



 Anna got a diaper bag full of supplies for her baby as a "big sister present."  Here she is feeding her baby.


 We think Sara looks just like Anna did when she was a newborn.

 Great-Grandaddy and Sara.

 More cuteness.

 Check out how long those fingernails are!

 Sara and her big sister.

 Anna wanted to be swaddled just like baby sister.  This is Grandmama's and Daddy's attempt at swaddling an almost 3-year old.  Silly girl.

 Getting dressed to come home. 


 Snuggling up to her new lovie--a present from her sister!

 Almost time to go!


Welcome to the family Baby Sara!
